Create Memories with a Baby Footprint Kit
It's amazing how quickly they grow up. Hanna is only 2 and already I can't believe her feet used to be that small.
You don't have to necessarily use cement to commemorate your baby's feet. There are tons of unique baby footprint kits available and one might be more suited to you.

Pearhead Babyprints Desktop Frame, Mahogany
Amazon Price: $33.07 (as of 11/28/2009)
I recently received this as a gift for the birth of my new daughter. I had purchased the keepsake box for my other daughter and was so happy with the results that I was excited get another one. I followed all the directions and was able to easily make an impression of my newborn's foot. Well, as it was drying my 2 year old found it and broke it into a gazillion pieces. I was devastated and thought I would have to buy an entire new kit. I decided to give customer service a shot to see if i could buy replacement clay and was told that they would send replacement clay out to me immediately, FREE OF CHARGE!!! Can you believe it!!! It was even my fault. Needless to say I will continue to buy from this company and will rave to all my friends about them! THANKS PEARHEAD!!!!
Baby Footprint Kit ~ Wall Frame
Babyprints Footprint Molding Kit with Wall Frame - Natural
Amazon Price: (as of 11/28/2009)
My Mother gave me this kit at my shower, and I've never come across another molding kit nearly as good as this one. My son was only 4 days old when I took his foot impression, and I still had enough left over to take his hand also! And don't worry if your little one squirms, 'cause all you have to do is roll it up again and flatten it out. I't took me 3 try's to get his foot just right(due to the fact he kept wiggling his toes!)and the molding clay still worked beautifully, with no sign of drying out! I now ordered another one for when my next child is born, so I can hang it under his/her's big brother's frame. My one and only complaint is that the molding will not stick to the back of the frame with the tape they give you, my suggestion for that is to use a hot glue gun set on low or some heavy duty tape, like duck tape. All in all it's a great product and well worth the money!
Baby Footprint Kit - Keepsake Shoe Box
Pink Footprint Shoebox
Amazon Price: $14.00 (as of 11/28/2009)
This baby footprint kit not only allows you to capture the footprint of your baby, but it also lets you keep those adorable first pair of shoes safe and sound.
We received the cutest pair of shoes when Hanna was born. She wore them only briefly because she quickly grew out of them, but it was nice to have a place we could keep them safe and sound, as well as have a way to keep her footprint from that time in her life.
