Continuing Our Yearly Tradition

A Handprint Canvas  our yearly tradition | Mama Papa Bubba

I’m all about special little traditions.  Half birthday traditions, Christmas ornament making traditions, Valentine’s Day traditions…  They just make me happy.  One of the ones I love most is is the handprint canvas Gracen and I make each year together.

 When I first decided to start it just before Miss G’s first birthday, I picked up 5 small square canvases thinking that would last me forever and now we’re more than halfway through our stash.  Hard to believe.

As always, Grae picked out the colour combination.

It’s crazy {and exciting and sad and overwhelming} to see how much this little hand grows each year (see last year’s print here).

Here’s this year’s masterpiece. Sadly, this one will stand alone here in Kuwait until another birthday rolls around, but one day in the future, she’ll have a collection of handprints, each one slightly larger than the last, displayed on her bedroom wall for all of us admire.

Check out last year’s handprint canvas post too!

Handprint Canvas: A Yearly Tradition

8 / 28 / 129 / 22 / 13

Today Miss G and I continued on a little birthday tradition we started last year when she turned one – painting a handprint canvas together.  This year was even more fun than last because Grae was really able to get into it and participate in the process.

After picking out our colour combination, we gave the canvas a few coats of pink paint, letting it dry in between each one.

Then, once it  was completely dry, I brushed a thin coat of teal on Grae’s hand and together we carefully stamped in the middle of the canvas.

With the project finished almost as quickly as it was started, Grae wanted to continue painting, so on she went…

As she worked on her own project, I sketched out a number two on the canvas’ corner…

Then carefully outlined it and filled it in with a paint pen.

Tada!  A very simple art project that forever saves those little handprints I always have such a hard time wiping away from our mirrors and windows.

And here it is next to last year’s.  Pretty amazing / heartbreaking to see the difference 12 months makes…
