Easter Crafts for Infants
Infants aren't ready for Michelangelo just yet, but there are adorable ways to capture their first Easter memories:

Paint your little one's foot or hand with safe, non-toxic paint and press it onto a piece of paper before cleaning it off.

A true masterpiece that could make its way to the family pool room!
