Mason's Annual Handprint Canvas~Year 6!

Yes, we're still making a handprint canvas every year on the kids' birthdays..and yes, I'm Sooooo thankful we started this tradition when Mason turned one! We already have a nice little collage wall of handprints in his room (6 to be exact) and I just hope he lets me keep doing it until he's 18! :) Ok...I may have to stop before then, but a Mama can dream, right?

This year, I let Mason choose what colors he wanted the canvas & his handprint to be. He chose royal blue & orange. Bright--but it turned out nice, I think!

Hung in a random order...may have to rotate them before next year's handprint.

Here's the big 6 year old!

Here's a link to the past 5 years of handprint art!

Madelyn's Annual Handprint~Year 1!

My son has a nice collection of 5 of these now (see previous post) and it's now my daughter's turn to start her handprint tradition, since she just turned One!

I went with light pink on pearlescent hot pink paint. I use a metallic silver marker to write her name, age, and the date (which is on the side.)


She moved (who knew) so her face is a little blurry

Checkin it out

I hung it over her dresser-I'll have to move it in the future when she gets more.

Mason's Annual Handprint~Year 5

You know the drill by now...Each year on his birthday, I paint Mason's hand and put it on a little painted canvas. I'm so thrilled we started this tradition because it's fun art for his room that is also a great keepsake that shows how much he's grown over the years! This year I chose charcoal grey & yellow paint.




Here are all the other year's posts, if you care to check those out:

Mason's Annual Handprint~Year 4

Each year around Mason's birthday, I paint his hand & have him put it on a small canvas. I love this tradition that has become a collection of artwork to show how much he's grown over the year. Here are links to past year's posts about his handprint art:
