Preserve a precious childhood milestone with our bespoke framed wooden handprint plaque. This custom timber sign provides the ideal canvas for your children or grandchildren to add their own painted handprints, creating a lasting family keepsake for Mum, Nan, or Nanna. Each rectangular plaque is built in our Australian workshop from natural birch plywood and enclosed in a clean, solid 6mm border frame in your choice of finish. Every single piece is laser engraved with precision, creating a timeless display piece for any bedroom, living room, or family mantlepiece.
A simple afternoon craft activity with your children becomes a treasured family heirloom that preserves the memory of their tiny hands as the years go by.

Handprint Application and Care Tips
Apply a thin, even layer of non toxic acrylic paint to your child's hand using a foam roller or sponge brush, then gently press their hand onto the timber surface. Allow the paint to dry flat completely before displaying. Store and display in a dry indoor area away from direct sunlight.
