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.
And this version arrives printed, bound and ready for you to use. No downloading 28 pages. No wrestling with your printer. No working out which way to turn the paper for double-sided printing and then discovering you got it wrong.
Each month has its own gorgeous 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 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, so once you've added the child's prints, you've created a proper calendar that families can actually use 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, because those are exactly the little details that are so easily forgotten as children grow.
Add their handprint to the front cover, fill in their name and date, complete the monthly prints and that's it.
One genuinely lovely, completely personal gift for their family.
Each calendar is professionally presented on quality 160gsm paper/card, double-sided to create a proper book-style calendar, then comb bound with protective front and back covers. It arrives ready for the fun bit – all you need to add are the children, some paint and probably a packet of wipes.
And if you've got several little people to make Christmas gifts for, multiple-copy options are available, so you can order one for each child without having to print and bind a small mountain of calendars yourself.
I have a feeling these are going to cause a few emotional Christmas mornings.
Please note: This listing is for the printed and bound calendar. It will arrive with the handprint, footprint and fingerprint areas blank, ready for your child/children to complete. Paint and children's prints are not included – I'm good, but I'm not that good.
