What you will need
  • 1 imprint wipe in foil sachet.
  • Sheets of sensitised paper/sensitised Certificate
  • A hardback book (diary, clipboard etc)
  • Baby wipe (to wipe your own fingers!)
How to make the prints
  • 1. Ensure that your baby is contented (sleepy or sleeping is ideal) and that feet/hands are clean and very slightly moist. We usually wipe them with a baby wipe to remove any sock/shoe fluff.

  • Place the sensitised paper on the hardback book. ready fcr use.

  • 3. Open the foil sachet and take out the wipe. Gently wipe it over the base of the baby's foot/hand until the area is fully covered. The wipe will feel dry - this is normal.

For Footprints
  • 4. Hold the baby's ankle and gently but firmly press the foot (starting with the heel and rolling towards the toes) onto the sensitised paper or certificate. Hold for 2-3 seconds and lift off before toes wriggle. After a few seconds a black image appears.

For Handprints
  • 5. Hand prints when the baby is awake are more dificult than footprints,as you need to uncurl the baby's fingers and thumb. lt's best to have two or three people on the case! One person holds the baby on his/her lap, the second holds the fingers and the third the thumb.

    At the same time. uncurl the fingers/thumb and press down onto the paper and lift off at the same time. Alternatively, take the prints when the baby is asleep and avoid the above performance!

  • 6. Repeat the process with the other hand or foot as necessary.
