The cutest little snowmen you’ll ever see! Get creative with this craft for your infants or toddlers. Easiest to get their prints when asleep

A keepsake to remind you the tiniest hands once held your heart. One of my favorite crafts. Allow your kiddo to get creative and decorate their mittens.
Handprint Mittens
I personally prefer this craft on a full sheet of paper then framing it or on a canvas but can’t go wrong with baby mistletoes!
Mistletoe Footprints
The greatest overall keepsake BECAUSE you can gift these!! I loved doing this with my toddler and infant. We did the basic hand and foot prints and next Christmas we will attempt the Santa handprint and reindeer or Christmas tree footprint
