Painting keepsakes

Like a fair few toddler my little one didn't until recently like touching different textures like play dough or getting messy when painting. About 19months she decided it wasn't so bad and now loves play dough and paints. 

At the moment I'm in the middle of making a cute (I home) Callander keepsake with handprints. 

Here is how far I have got... 

And the finished piece...
Front page: collage of her random painting over the last month
January: mummy, daddy and Katie's hand
February: handprint in the shape of a heart. This would work better if the thumb is tucked in.
March: handprint to make tulip flower and also a bee.
April: fish
May: kite 
June: finger print caterpillars 
July: handprint butterfly. This also works well with the body made with a footprint. 
August: handprint sun

September handprint ducks 
October: autumn handprint tree
November: fireworks (with creative licence)
December: Christmas tree handprint and handprint present 

I'm sure this will be lovely to look at when she's older, very nostalgic!
