Kids grow up so fast, and it's always nice to be able to look back and see how much they really have grown. Instead of getting a kit or having your baby's hand print put into clay, why not try doing something inexpensive, such as tracing them?

Martha Stewart had a fun idea on her site for making Hand Tracings. This way you can look back and see how much they have changed from month to month.

If you didn't want to trace it, maybe use a washable ink pad to stamp their hand. Or you could even cover it with paint and make a hand print that way. It would be fun to do this with feet too. As kids get older they will have fun looking back and seeing how small they were. - Trisha
