Mother's Day is coming, and if you're a mom, you already know: the gifts that make you cry happy tears aren't the ones that come in pretty department store bags. They're the ones made with chubby little fingers, messy paint, and a whole lot of love.
At Lasting Littles, we believe the smallest prints leave the biggest impressions — and this Mother's Day, we're here to help you capture them forever.
Why Handmade Matters More Than Ever on Mother's Day
Every mom has a drawer (or a shoebox, let's be honest) full of macaroni art, crayon drawings, and finger-painted masterpieces. But the reality is, most of those treasures fade, wrinkle, or get lost in a move. Handprint and footprint keepsake art solves that problem beautifully — turning a fleeting moment in time into a framed piece of art you'll display proudly for decades.
Whether you're a mom looking for a Mother's Day DIY craft to do with your kids, or you're a little one (with a little help from a grown-up) wanting to give the most heartfelt gift imaginable, Lasting Littles has everything you need.
Moms Deserve Something Special Too
Here's something we don't talk about enough: moms are usually the ones who plan everything. The birthday parties, the school projects, the holiday crafts. But on Mother's Day, you deserve to be the one who receives something truly meaningful — not just a candle or a gift card.
That's exactly why we created the Lasting Littles Mom Edition.
The Mom Edition was designed with you in mind — a beautifully curated keepsake kit that makes it easy for your partner, your older kids, or even a caregiver to create a stunning piece of handprint or footprint art that captures your little one exactly as they are right now. Because these days go fast. Impossibly fast.
The Mom Edition is the perfect Mother's Day gift from your kids — gorgeous, personal, and completely one-of-a-kind.
"I sobbed when I opened mine. My daughter's tiny footprint, framed and displayed in my living room. I look at it every single morning." — A Lasting Littles mom
Don't Forget Grandma — The Grandma Edition Is Here
If you're a mom reading this, you already know your mom is not-so-secretly obsessed with your kids. Grandmas live for this stuff.
The Lasting Littles Grandma Edition was made for exactly this moment — giving your littles the chance to gift their grandma something she will treasure for the rest of her life. A tiny handprint or footprint preserved in beautiful keepsake art, straight from her grandchildren to her heart.
It is, without question, the best Mother's Day gift from grandchildren you can find. No spa gift card competes with a framed print of a baby's foot with your child's name and birthdate.
Whether grandma lives next door or across the country, this gift tells her: these little people love you, and we want you to have a piece of them always.
Mother's Day Crafts: Why Handprint Art Is the Ultimate DIY Gift
Looking for Mother's Day crafts for kids? Here's why handprint and footprint art tops every list:
It's timeless. Trends come and go. A perfectly captured handprint at 8 months old never goes out of style.
It's deeply personal. No two prints are alike. Every smudge, every tiny toe, every little line is uniquely theirs — and uniquely yours to keep.
It captures a moment you can never get back. Your baby's hands are only this small once. Their feet will never be this tiny again. This is the whole reason Lasting Littles exists.
It works for every age. From newborns to toddlers to elementary-aged kids — handprint and footprint art grows with your family story.
It looks stunning on display. Lasting Littles kits are designed to produce gallery-worthy results, not arts-and-crafts-table chaos (although we love that too).
How to Make a DIY Mother's Day Handprint Gift with Lasting Littles
One of the things our community loves most is that Lasting Littles makes DIY handprint keepsakes genuinely doable — even with a wiggly baby, even if you're not crafty, even if it's the night before Mother's Day.
Here's the simple process:
- Choose your kit — Mom Edition for yourself, Grandma Edition for your mom, or our classic keepsake sets for any occasion.
- Capture the print — Our kits walk you through exactly how to get a clean, beautiful impression even with the squirmiest little ones.
- Display or gift — Frame it, hang it, wrap it up. The result is a piece of wall art that will stop people in their tracks.
No artistic talent required. No mess you'll regret. Just a beautiful memory, made permanent.

A Note to All the Moms Out There
You carry so much. You remember everything — every milestone, every first word, every tiny shoe size your child has ever worn. You're the keeper of all the memories.
This Mother's Day, let someone keep one for you.
A handprint. A footprint. A moment frozen in time, displayed on your wall, where you'll see it every day and remember exactly how little they were — and how much they loved you, even when they couldn't say it yet.
That's what Lasting Littles is about. That's what Mother's Day is about.
