How to get hand & foot prints

[Strawberry06]

Hi all

This might seem like a silly question but how do you get baby's hand and footprints when they are born?

What I mean is surely there's other ways to having their foot and hand covered with black ink which doesn't sound good for them!

There’s inkless prints you can order online- we got some from Amazon. It was like a wipe over her little hands and feet then press onto the paper.
We also had a clay print from Mamas and Papas which was easy to do too.
We also used children’s paint to get a nice little picture for family, just used wipes to clean my dd up after.

Yep, ink less print kit was a lovely present when DD was born (although sis didn’t send it until 6 weeks later by which time DD obviously had grown 🙄)
Just not convinced they won’t fade over time, so scan/photograph!

We bought kids pink paint for dd. And had lots of wipes available. 16 years letter nothing has faded.

It's baby safe ink, or you can get clay kits or spread vaseline on their hands, press onto paper then was paper with watercolour paint nut I haven't ever tried that.

I ordered ink less ones print pad from Amazon and done everyone’s Xmas cards with my twins hand and foot prints really good I ordered 4 pad for like £6 u get quite a few prints from one pad aswell
