But in the mean time, here are the Father's Day gifts the girls and I made for their Daddy and their Pho Pho. Scrub caps with the girls handprints and name (great gift for doctors that spend a lot of time in the OR). I had planned to post these on Father's Day but got a bit overwhelmed with the girls birthday planning and photos.
I thought taking their footprints was a messy process. It doesn't even compare to handprints. Dara managed to grab the strings of one of the caps while I was trying to get Tess' prints and got paint splotches everywhere.
Tess didn't like the feel of the paint on her hands and started crying. She is much more sensitive to sensory experiences than Dara is. I think I need to start doing more sensory activities with them so she doesn't get upset so easily with the different textures.
You can also see where Dara got some paint on her fingers of the hand I wasn't printing and started grabbing the scrub cap. I touched up the handprints using a tooth pick with the white paint and tried to cover some of the wayward splotches with black paint. But Dara's left handprint on my husband's cap was just too messy so I left the white splotches as is. Their chubby little handprints still look cute, even if it they are messy.
I saw this project on Pinterest and thought it would be a great idea for the girls' and my summer travels in CA. I got a hand towel on sale at Target and made the tie out of the same material I'm using for the growth chart binding. It was really fast to make; the tie took the longest but shoe laces or ribbon would be an easy no-sew alternative to the tie I made. I have slots for our tooth brushes (even Kevin's for future trips), tooth paste, dental floss, my deoderant and then a large slot at the end for anything else I think I need.
Rolled up, it makes a nice and convenient bundle that protects your toothbrushes.
Got to love Pinterest!
