Paint Safe For Use On Babies?

[Chasingcars]

We bought a kit to print our babys hand and foot print onto canvas picture block however the only paint supplied was black and i thought it may look nicer in a paster colour. Does anyone know what paint would be suitable to use on a newborns hand/ foot? Im guessing childrens poster paint but not something i am really familiar with! Thanks

We used kiddies poster paints for ours when they were little :)

Try typing "baby hand print paint" into amazon - there are qute a few options in pastel colours

It took 3 of us to hold her foot in the cast, she was furious! (!) but the end result was sooooo worth it, it still has pride of place on my mantlepiece.

ha, lucky you, B00, we still have a 6ft 3in plaster cast of jno jnr outside that we don't know what to do with. Won't go on the mantelpice at all, even sideways. An A-level art project, if you're wondering.

jno - I'm having a good chuckle at the thought of you lying that plaster cast sideways along your mantlepiece!
