Remember when your children were born, and the nurses took their hand prints and stamped them onto paper? I bet you still have that paper (I do!). There’s something about children’s hands that is so sweet and innocent. I love holding my children’s hands and just admiring them. The tiny fingers, the adorable little dimples, the lines on their knuckles- those hands have my heart, now and forever!
If you’re a crafty mama, and you want to have your children’s hand prints in art form, these are some really fun ways to create seasonal memories of fall that you can hold onto forever!

1. Hand Print Leaves
You can’t have fall without leaves, and little hand prints make the perfect shape for a fall leaf craft. Make this using different fall colors, and hang it on your wall for everyone to see until the season is over.

4. Halloween Treat Bag
Are you one of those moms who monograms everything? Do you always look for products you can customize with your children’s names? You should totally do this Halloween hand print craft with your kids! Not only can you personalize the bag with their names, you can personalize it with their hand prints. No one else will have the same trick-or-treating bag as them, so they’ll feel pretty special.

8. Hanging Wreath
Don’t spend your money on fancy fall decorations this year. Instead, turn your children’s hands into a work of art to hang on your wall. You can add embellishments to give your decor a little “flavor,” but a wreath made from those precious fingers is the best thing you can lay your eyes on.
