What To Do With Your Adorable Berry Buddy
Once it’s dry and fabulous, the question is: where does it live?
You could frame it in the kitchen next to the fridge masterpieces. Or turn it into a summer card for grandma. Or punch a hole, string some ribbon, and make a whole garland of fruity handprints from the whole family. (Yes, parents, your hands are invited too.)
Write your kid’s name and the year on the back so future-you can cry happy tears later.
