Tip: If you get paint on a part of the hand/foot that you don't
want on the picture, just dab off with a wet wipe before printing. You might
have to try a few prints before you are totally happy. Luckily, my son was
great after the initial tickling sensation of the first print.
Laminate and put in blank calendars,
and you can use dry erase markers and use it indefinitely.
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But every day I'm growing -
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
January Footprint:Penguin
I’m a little penguin
I'm a little penguin,
Black and white.
Short and wobbly,
An adorable sight.
I can't fly at all,
but I love to swim.
So I'll waddle to the water
And dive right in!
February Handprint: Heart
Kissing Hand Poem
A piece of me I give to you
This special heart because
“I Love You!”
The heart is you, the hand is me,
It shows that we are
A Family!
March Handprint:Leprechaun
Poem: by Pamela W.
I'm a little leprechaun,
Tiny
and green.
I
try to hide where I cannot be seen.
If
you catch me on St. Patrick’s Day,
I
must give my gold away!
April Handprint: Rabbit
Here's a Rabbit
Oh, here's a fluffy rabbit
With two ears so very long
See him hop, hop, hop about
On legs so very strong.
He nibbles, nibbles carrots
For his dinner every day
And as soon as he has had enough
He hops, hops, hops away.
May Handprint: Tulips
Tulips
In
the garden
Tulips
grow
Straight
and golden
In
a row.
Each
one holds
Its
empty cup
Drinking
rain
And
sunshine up.
Peacock
A peacock with its colorful feathers
Displayed for all to see.
Its graceful body and its head
Is made just by me.
A Rocket in My Pocket
I've
got a rocket
In my pocket;
I cannot stop to play.
Away it goes!
I’ve burned my toes.
It’s Independence Day.
August Handprint: Fish
The
Fish
I
hold my fingers
Like
a fish,
And
wave them
As
I go.
See
them swimming
With
a swish,
So
swiftly
To
and fro.
September Handprint &
Fingerprints:Apple Tree
These are special apples
Hanging
on this tree.
I
made them with my fingerprints
They
are a part of me.
October Handprint: Spider
This spider is not scary.
Look real close, and you’ll see.
It’s made from something very special,
And that’s special something’s me!
November Handprint:Turkey
Poem: (from several sources)
This isn’t just a turkey,
As you can plainly see.
I made it with my hand,
Which is a part of me!
It comes with lots of love
Especially to say—
I hope you have
A Very Happy
Thanksgiving Day!
December Handprint: Santa Claus
Santa
Claus
Here
is Santa Claus,
A
very jolly elf.
But
this Santa is a special one
Because
I made it myself.
