It comes off her foot really easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2362909 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 11:06:52 +0000 erinbaderin 2362909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a piece of art in a frame? I bet she'd feel pretty fancy to see her art in a frame like a real picture.</p> <p>My son (22 months) is really obsessed with rocks so I'm going to wrap up some rocks from him to all our family members, but I don't think that's really what you're looking for. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2362899 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 11:02:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 2362899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Ooh, I like the idea of a kit!</p> <p>@Smurfette: Is there any specific paint you use for that or does it not matter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361888 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:34:47 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2361888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did coasters last year. We bought small ceramic tiles (unglazed), put felt on the bottoms and K's handprint on top, then sealed them with clear coat. They were easy and so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361885 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:30:58 +0000 mauxie 2361885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece and nephew have made me hand painted/finger painted mugs and vases. My sis bought ceramic mugs and glass vases with some special paint stuff to make it food-safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361706 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:37:14 +0000 Smurfette 2361706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family has a tradition that the kids make something for gifts each year. Her first Christmas we made a Rudolph from her footprint. Last year a Christmas tree, she glued the poms on. This year we are going to do snowman. For all I bought little 5x7 canvas boards and did them on that. People can put then on the tree, I glue ribbon on, or can hang them on the wall.</p> <p>[attach=1508/15/ny0zzi.600x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361660 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:09:01 +0000 mrsjyw 2361660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did hand prints a couple years back,</p> <p>last year ds painted a few wooden bird houses and heart plaques for the grandparents (he was 2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361659 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:07:42 +0000 catlady 2361659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did ceramic hand print ornaments the year she was an infant. Actually I think it ended up being a foot print because she wouldn't unclench her fist. Either way is cute. You can buy kits on Amazon that have clay and a ribbon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361645 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:54:52 +0000 mediagirl 2361645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw these activities today that I thought might make for some good gifts. <a href="http://www.toddlerapproved.com/2014/12/10-simple-christmas-activities-for.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.toddlerapproved.com/2014/12/10-simple-christmas-activities-for.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361644 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:53:59 +0000 looch 2361644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you want to do some kind of handprint/footprint thing? Those DIY garden stones are very popular!</p> <p>There are a ton of things I wanted to do, but never got around to, like turning a footprint into a lobster and and getting it glazed on a serving platter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diy-gifts-from-lo-to-family#post-2361636 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 13:50:33 +0000 lamariniere 2361636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go to is always photo gifts.
