   Hi guys,
 I wanted Zaara's foot print and hand print on a canvas (she just turned 6 months). I wanted to use finger paint, because I dont know what else would work. I wanted to get her prints at birth but that never happened. I also plan to do this on her 1st birthday.
 
 Do you know which finger paint is safe for her to use? I was thinking of getting the Crayola ones.

   Use any kind of paint, just cover her hand/foot with zinc and castor first so you can just wipe the paint off.  BEWARE have someone to help you when you do this or it can turn into a very messy job.

   Zinc and castor is in the baby aisle (with the nappy creams, wipes, baby bath etc) and is a white container with a blue lid. Is at Pak n Save, Woolworths that I know of!!
