Taking Hand and/or Footprints

Taking hand and/or footprints is simple with our inkless wipe kits. If you’ve already got prints, we can use those too—so don’t worry. You’ll receive a wipe and special paper. The wipes feel dry, which is normal, and they don’t make any mess—perfect for babies or adults.

For adults, there’s usually room for a single print per sheet. If needed, you can add another print on the back—it may appear lighter, but we can still enhance it beautifully. For baby prints, wipe the hand or foot and get as many prints as possible before the wipe dries out.

For footprints, roll the foot from heel to toe and lift gently to avoid smudges. For handprints, especially with wriggly babies, you might find it easier to take prints while they’re asleep. Use a rolling motion to lift the hand cleanly. Afterward, simply wash with soapy water and dry.
