The Baby Footprint Frame - Great for Shower Gifts, New Moms & More


Whether you've been struggling to come up with an idea for a unique, fun baby shower gift or you are a new parent looking for a way to document your baby's earliest days that goes beyond just a photograph or video, baby footprint frames can be the answer.


A baby footprint frame allows you to capture an actual impression of your baby's foot and display it right alongside an adorable photo. Until recently the only footprint frame kits that were widely available used ink to "stamp" your baby's footprint. However, in recent years some fun new styles of kits have come on the market that allow you mold your baby's footprint instead of just stamping.


The stamping style of baby footprint frame comes with a frame and some baby-safe ink. You then use your baby's foot as a "stamp" and make an impression of it on the enclosed paper. Once the ink dries you can put the stamped image in the frame along with your baby's photo and have a beautiful display as well as a lovely keepsake. If you decide to purchase ink on your own rather than in a kit, always be sure that the ink that you use is labeled as being safe for babies so that you don't harm your baby in the process.


The latest styles of baby footprint frames use a baby-safe molding material to take an actual impression of your baby's foot. Rather than just getting a flat stamp of your baby's footprint, you get an actual 3-D impression which shows a lot more detail. The molding material that comes with these types of kits usually does not require mixing or stirring and is mess-free. Molded baby footprint frames usually have one side of the frame that is like a shadowbox where you can display your baby's footprint with a space on the other side of the frame to put a photo.


Baby footprint frames are available in a wide variety of colors and styles so there is sure to be one available to match any decor.
