toddler school | first day craft
With toddler school officially underway, I found some "pin-spiration" for a First Day craft.
Yep... I'm totally one of those sentimental moms who love a good hand/footprint craft. With my Kindergartners I found any excuse I could to send home a handprint card, so I really wouldn't expect any less of myself to document the growth of my children in any other way!
Copeland loves when I paint his hands. He sits so patiently with wide-eyed wonder as I color his hand with the cool wet paint. Not once has he gotten it on his clothes, but I of course recommend de-clothing your children and using washable paint... just in case. Also, paint only one hand at a time and baby wipes are the BEST at removing paint from little hands.
I found the poem online and then just re-created it in Word. Click HERE for the PDF version if you would like to use it for yourself.
His sweet handprints are now adorning our refrigerator. The first of many I am sure.
We only have one week behind us in Toddler School, and I can already tell the sweet memories we are making together will last a lifetime. Having the one-on-one time together has been good for both of our hearts.
Here is my boy on his first day. Son, I pray you always know how cherished and loved you are. I praise God that I was chosen to be your momma.

My given name is Rachel although the name I am called more than any other these days is Momma. Recently, my husband, Jonathan, and I decided to put my teaching career on pause to stay at home and focus on our two children. This is our journey.
