This would even be a simple project for the class room.
Let me make a couple of suggestions for the paint and seal.
A basic acrylic paint is water based and adheres will to the clay. And the clean up is easy as long as you do it right away. I would still advise that you use aprons for the kids and the adults if you are concerned with the mess. And for a sealant - the Mod Podge glossy glue/sealant is simple and has an easy clean up; and is priced right for your projects.
So there you have a simple and inexpensive project to start out your holiday season.
One more little goody to think about. Again, something that any grandparent would love to display on their mantle. A special print of their favorite child. And simple.
Check out this one.
When I first saw this it was shown as a Christmas card. That's a great idea but a nice little print on a good grade paper would make a great keepsake.
As far as paints - I would suggest a non toxic poster paint. It will wash off easily, is harmless and inexpensive. Paper - I would suggest a nice linen paper with minimal texture. You don't want the paint to distort from too much texture in the paper.
From there you could frame or make into a nice poster board card. Either way it will be a great gift. And think about this. You could do a border print. Like a series of foot prints for the entire family. I just don't see any reason that this would be only for babies. If I come up with a photo of this, I will share at a later date.
Stay tuned for more fun projects. I am sure there will be more you will enjoy.
