Winnie the Pooh Hand and Foot print frame Review

When my first son was born we were inundated... I mean blesses with a lot of new stuff. Included in this new stuff was tons of memory keeping items. Scrapbooks, photo albums and brag books a plenty... but the one memorabilia item we received that was cuter than cute was the Winnie the Pooh Hand and Foot Print Fame.

Classic-ness

Designed in a classic Pooh motif, the Hand and Foot frame has nice soft colors which makes it fit nicely with pretty much any décor. We didn't really have a set theme in my son's room but we used a rich color of blue and at one point were going to have the Pooh characters throughout (he is now on to Transformers and Scooby Doo). The set comes with 2 small frames – one for the foot and one for the hand, and yes they are labeled – that are attached by a ribbon and hang by a ribbon. Due to the nature of ribbons, the frames do hang a little crooked. For me it's not a big deal, but if you are picky about frames being level than you could have a problem with this set. An ink pad is also included for capturing the cute little prints.

Feet First

So with the nature of newborns we started with Little Man's feet first as this was the easier of the two. The when we went to do the hands, well that's another story. See newborns like to keep their hands in a fist for the first few months. Even if you do end up opening them, as soon as the palm touches something, it will close again. So we waited a few months to get the hand print. Luckily we did it when we did or his hand would have been too big for the paper that was provided. You've only got a 2”x2” square to put the print on. As it was we had to turn the paper over and re-try the print since he smudged it the first time. Putting the prints in the frame is just like a picture frame.

Once we are done with the cuteness of the hands and feet, I will retire the papers into my son's album. After that I'm sure that the frames will get some use in little brother's room as well. The Winnie the Pooh Hands and Feet Frame probably could be used as a picture frame as well, keeping in mind that it is labled “first hand prints” and “first feet prints.” But for now, this is a cute method of capturing baby's cute hands and feet and decorating the nursery. Classic Pooh designs are by far my favorite so this has been a favored decoration for my son's room.
