This baby shower gift will become a special keepsake for parents.

Footprints frame

Baby's hands and feet are so tiny, precious and cute. Capture this memory before baby grows up!

The baby gift idea:
Give a picture frame to display the imprint of the upcoming baby's footprints. Before wrapping the gift, replace the existing frame's photo with a high quality white construction paper. Using poster paint, use your thumb to create where the baby's footprints and baby pic should be placed. Doing so will inform the gift recipient how the frame is intended to be used. Include a second sheet of construction paper for parents to use. Also include a non-toxic poster paint along with your gift.

Do you want the frame personalized? Pretty up the picture frame in your desired color or with the baby's name, if known.

When the parents get the baby's footprint:
To get baby's footprint, simply paint on a thin layer of poster paint and press baby's foot firmly down on the paper. Repeat with the other foot. Allow to dry and frame accordingly.

Variations:
Handprints are also cute and perhaps easier to capture.

YeahBaby thoughts:
Not only will parents love this baby shower gift, but when baby grows into child, he or she will look back in awe asking, 'Was I really that small?'
