Baby Hands and Feet
Nothing warms your heart like the vision of baby hands and feet.
These features are icons of innocence and purity found only in an
infant. One of the things parents miss most about their little bundles
of joy is the tiny baby hands. They are strongly tied to very emotional
memories of holding the little one and feeling the precious fingers
encircle a finger of the person holding the infant. Before you know
it, the little one has grown and the baby hands are no more.
Baby feet are precious as well. They are a point of fascination
for many adults. I can’t count how many times relatives and
friends asked to see my newborn’s little toes. I guess that
they represent the infant’s perfection from head to toe. Anyway,
the tiny feet are objects of admiration for many adults as well.
Now you can preserve the baby hands and feet in a couple of ways.
Of course, you will always have those wonderful ink prints of your
baby’s feet from the hospital but you can also preserve the
little icons in three-dimensional ways as well. There are a few
companies that offer services that will meet your memory-inspiring
needs.
One company offers to create a plaque out of your baby’s
hand prints or foot prints. These wonderful keepsakes are great
mementos of when your child was just an infant. The plaque can be
mounted on a wooden frame accompanied by a personalized nameplate.
The nameplate displays the age and name of the child.
Some parents display the keepsake on a stand while others hang
them on the wall. They are not packed away in the corner of the
attic. These baby hands and feet will always stay in sight. For
this reason, many families are choosing to make the keepsake a gift
for new parents.
You can opt for a standard sized plaque to display the imprints
of your baby hands or you can choose a larger plaque for more complex
displays. The larger plaques can be used for baby hands and feet.
The parents can include older siblings in the plaque. One of the
most beautiful arrangements includes a parent’s and baby’s
handprints together.
Another option is having the baby hands or feet put into three-dimensional
designs. The feet or hands are placed in a fast-setting jelly for
a couple of seconds. The artists take the mold and create casts
that are identical to your little one’s hands or feet in bronze,
glass, silver or even gold.
