Preschool Keepsakes

Throughout the year I love creating keepsakes for my parents. It can be a card, a photo, or a Thanksgiving placemat. My favorite keepsakes are handprints and footprints. Two years ago, when my daughter was in Kindergarten her teacher created the cutest calendar keepsake using the students handprints. Luckily, I happened to be in the classroom volunteering one day and got to help create the handprint for that month. Take a look at how cute these are.

Mrs. Kovarik created a complete set of pages for the cover and each month of the year. They were reproduced so each child would have their own copy.  I covered my daughters name with a sticky note. But each child's name is on the front of their book. The children choose the handprint colors they wanted on the outside of the book and Mrs. Kovarik choose the colors for each month.

Here's the handprints for February Heart and the March Leprechaun.

To save time and money she only laminated

the front and back pages of the book. 

Here's the handprints for the June Tulip and the August sun.

The tulip is only the palm of the hand. 

I'm looking forward to sharing this keepsake 

with my daughter when she's all grown up!

A special thanks to Mrs. Kovarik for all of her hard work 

and making it a memorable first year for my baby girl:)
