I want to take hand and footprints of my baby? I assume some non toxic kids paint will be ok to use?

Question

I am completing his baby record book and it has a page to take his foot and hand prints. I would prefer natural products - just wondering what other people may have used to do this?

Answer 1

Paint can get messy. I used an ink pad (then just remove the excess with a baby wipe).

Answer 2

take the book with u and tell the nurses that u want the babys hand prints along with her feet and they should do it for you if u have already had the baby they make a kit that costs $25 or under, it comes complete everything u need is in there and u can find it in most hobby stores, and in the baby department of like toys'r'us baby,

Answer 3

My baby's foot print was taken right after birth and they used this "blue ink" to get it. Also, when we bought a home imprint kit, it comes with this non-toxic water-based liquid color paste which is not harmful for babies.
You can check mothercare's home imprint kit :)

Answer 4

I went to the store and bought an ink pad and used that then just wiped him clean with a baby wipe. They use it at the hospital as well

Answer 5

Tempura paints are washable and often found at preschools. The wash off of fabrics easily and are non- toxic.

Answer 6

my sister bought a mould off ebay and moulded her sons feet and hands and did another mould to show her pregnant belly... Maybe you could do the same thing with yours, wait til it dries then make a foot print (not quite the same, I know) but then you get a footprint as well as moulds.

Answer 7

non toxic washable finger paint should be fine

Answer 8

What kind does the hospital use?
