HELP! Craft project for 13 month old
Nancy Cavanaugh
I know I'm probably crazy for asking but I would love it if my 13
month old could make something for her grandmother's and godfather's
birthdays. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

sweatshirts? Or footprints, and you could write, "who says I let
my grandchild walk all over me?"

Your chances of a 13 month old making things is slim but here goes a
few.
If a mess is what you want, try with some paint and let the baby stick
her hands in and apply hand print to paper. Let the baby smear paint
all of another piece. The artist surfaces
Set out a bunch of hats and scarves. Sit the baby down and let her pick
the different hats or scarves and things and be ready with a camera.
Get some great shots. Then get frame that has allowance for more than
one picture and voila. She has created her own pose. Just be careful
with the scarves. Don't leave them and the baby alone.

My son made this for me and I was so touched I cried. Paint his palm
with non-toxic paint in one color of your choice and his fingers with a
different color.
Mine painted his palm yellow and fingers blue. He stamped his hand in the
middle of a white piece of cardboard. Then he pasted a red piece of
construction paper in the shape of a heart, pasted a green stem and leaves
to make it look like a flower.
(Of course his teacher helped with the cutting). This flower in his
artwork looks like it is planted in a pot, where this poem is printed:
A piece of me
I give to you.
I painted this flower
To say,"I love you."
The heart is you.
The hand is me.
To show we are friends---
The best there can be.
I hope you will save it
And look back someday
At the flower we shared
On your special day.

Hope if you use this, the receipients will be just as touched as I was.
Take care!

While the baby needs mom's (or dad's) help, my wife still cherishes the
little plaster hand prints I made with my twins a couple of years ago.
Prepare the plaster and let the baby stick hands or feet in. Let it dry,
and viola! They usually sell these things as kits.

Nancy, When my girls were little they/I made a cute wall hanging.
Supplies needed:
white cotton fabric
fabric crayons
rickrack
lace
embroidery hoop
glue
ribbon
I took fabric and had my daughter stand on it and I traced her feet with a
fabric crayon. Next I had her put her hands on it and I traced her hands
with a different colored fabric crayon. I wrote her name and the date in
another color of fabric crayon. Next I let my daughter color pictures around
her feet and hand prints. Set it as directed on the crayon box. I used a
14 inch hoop and stretched and centered the creation. I glued rickrack
around the front edge, tied a bow at the top where the screw is, and put lace
on the back edge. You choose the colors for the rickrack and the bow by the
colors of crayons you and your child use. It looks very nice and my girls
are 11 and 14 now and still think it's kind of neat having these on our wall.

When my girls were little i traced their handprints, cut a bunch of them
out of green felt, and glued them around in a circle to make wreaths for
Christmas. The grandmothers loved them and we still have one that we pull
out and look at every Christmas.

Saw these plaster kits in craft section of Wal-mart (Canada) this past
weekend. Cheaper than big craft store.

I once used fabric paint (washes off skin easily) to put footprints
of my youngster onto fairly heavyweight fabric. I stitched two
into toe stuffers for shoes / boots. Stuffed them with pillow stuffing
and some cedar shavings (pet supplies). Don't forget to get your
childs name, date, and age on their somewhere.

Handprint in paint on a store-bought potholder makes an adorable wall
hanging. Write the date and occasion in permanent marker.

Strip her down and wrap her in a plastic apron
then let her paint something for a gift......
Take a photo of her making it to include with the gift.
Here are two examples:
Let her paint a clay flower pot with acrylic paints,
You could even take the photo of her and cut it into
a circle shape for the center of a paper flower to
fill the pot with.
Let her paint a plain wooded frame then put the photo
of her painting it into the frame.
Good luch,

I saw a similar tee shirt but it said "a hug for grandpa" I thought it was really
cute and the guy looked verrrrrry proud wearing it.
