I want to do some hand and footprints of our baby for his book. Has anyone done this? If so how did you do it and what do you do it with?

You place baby's hand/foot on the dry side & then presson to the book....nothing gets on baby & you get a perfect print with no smudges or smears. You can get the kits with these ink "thingies" at craft stores or even Babise R Us

Also, a stamp pad is the perfect size for a newborn hand and foot. Stamp one, wash it, stamp the next....I wouldn't want to get caught holding a baby with 4 inky ends dangling around!

But for little babies, if you take the book to the hospital when baby is born the nurse will do it for you when they do the birth certificate. but if you have already had baby vanilla pudding with a little food coloring. Cleans easy and when they lick there hands no harm done.
