I'm guessing from your question you want to make a permanent print of your grandson's hand or foot print, not just let him play in paint.
If you want to make something to hang on the wall, buy small bottles of acrylic paint from your local craft store along with a painter's canvas and large brush. Paint his hand or foot then press onto the canvas. You may want to practice on a newspaper or other paper first.
If you want to make something to wear, buy fabric paint and a brush. Again, paint his hand or foot and apply to a t-shirt, tote bag or purse. Allow to thoroughly dry according to directions before wearing or using.
Either method is easier if you have a second person helping, and both types of paint wash off easily with soap and water.
Good luck and have fun! You'll end up with a wonderful remembrance, especially if you do your own handprint ahead of time, allow to dry then put his inside of it!

Early Learning Centre water based paint. It comes off you easily when he wriggles, it will come off the sofa or carpet (with a bit of persuasion) easily, and off your clothes in the machine. I love doing hand and foot prints of the children I care for and always use water based ready mixed paints. They have a fab time with them. You don't mention how old he is but I guess fairly young so, when he gets older he will enjoy using all those paints with great gusto.

Check to see what kind of paint is is and then ask the vet. If it is latex you may be able to wash with soapy water but still ask the vet regarding toxicity. Meanwhile, I cannot imagine leaving a 3 year old on his own long enough to do that. He could have been in danger. Who was watching him?

When my children was babies - I had read about someone using Lipstick - I gave it a go - I did it when they was asleep - they came out brilliant - the foot/hand footprints still look like the day I did them. It's something for you to treasure and for your children when they get older.
I did them on gift cards and selotaped the cards when I had finished to preserve them better or you could use a laminator which would be good. My children think their books I created when they small are really nice.

they have non-toxic finger paints for kids. Or you can just get an ink pad and press the child's foot or hand on it and then press it on the paper. It won't hurt the child. Just make sure you wipe it off when your done before you let the kid run around and you have kid prints all over the house!!

go to early learning and by children's paint from there just make sure you have a bowl of water handy if he is walking as it can get very messy

As long as you watch to make sure he doesn't lick his hands/feet you'll be fine with pretty much anything. Obviously not lead-based - but I don't think that is available these days in any case.

Anything non-toxic will be safe. Plain-ole fingerpaint would work best. You can find it in the children's arts and crafts aisle.
