There are some things parents keep forever.
That tiny handprint. The footprint that somehow looks impossibly small a few years later. The funny little things their child loved at that exact moment in time.
This calendar captures a whole year of them.
The 2027 Little Prints Keepsake Calendar has been created as a really special gift for the families in your setting – something beautiful enough to give at Christmas, useful enough to enjoy all year, and sentimental enough that there’s a very good chance it will still be tucked away in a memory box long after 2027 is over.
Each month has its own handprint, footprint or fingerprint design for your little ones to complete. From penguins and butterflies to sunshine, apples, ghosts, bonfires and reindeer, every page has been carefully designed with plenty of room for real little hands and feet – including those belonging to your bigger preschoolers.
Alongside every artwork page is a matching 2027 calendar month, turning their creations into a proper calendar their family can enjoy throughout the year.
But I wanted this to be more than twelve lovely pieces of artwork.
At the end there's a special “Just before I gave you this calendar…” page where you can record the child's age, height, favourite thing, what they loved playing with and something that always made them laugh. There's also space for one more handprint, capturing just how little that hand was when their calendar was made.
The front cover has another space for their handprint, along with their name and the date, finishing the whole thing off as a completely personal keepsake.
Print it. Add those little hands, feet and fingers. Give it to someone who loves them.
And because this is the digital version, one purchase allows you to print the calendar for the children within your own childminding setting, nursery or preschool. So if you're making gifts for several families, you don't need to purchase an individual download for every child.
Once purchased, your files are available to download and print, ready for you to create as many little masterpieces (and paint-covered fingers!) as your setting requires.
