How about their hand prints in a concrete paver.We did these for the garden and let all the kids scratch their names in them and then personalize them with a mosaic type assortment of shells colored rocks small change and colored pieces of beach glass,marbles etc.pushed into the concrete as it is drying.Very easy and inexpensive to make.Make a 1x4 (treated) square or rectangle form. Screw the 4 pieces of frame together and then unscrew it after the cement sets.Use a piece of plastic drop cloth under the forms when you are pouring the cement.See link below and if you have any questions email me.

A napkin holder! My son traced his hands onto wood. He cut them out ( with help)and put One hand on each side with a piece of wood in the middle to create an opening for the napkins. He put wood stain and shellac on them. Very cute!
Another cute idea is a recipe/note holder. Cut out the hand and put it on a base. Hot glue an open and closing clothes pin towards the top to hold the recipies. They can put the recipe in the holder and look at it as they cook. I also put notes or pictures in mine when I'm not using it for a recipe!

the obvious thing for handprints could be Doves or Butterflies
a Ceramic Tile with glass beads stuck around it

Take pics of your kids' silouettes, turn them black to draw interest, and frame them with the hands, and maybe footprints at the bottom.

do they have a garden? how about stepping stones for that? Decorate them with glass beads. get the kids to help and be creative. you can get kits for those at most craft stores.

What about salt dough? They could decorate them and be used to decorate the christmas tree
