Sample Poem: this poem was on a craft from Oriental Trading
Everyday I am exploring Touching everything I’ve found I leave behind my little marks and handprints all around.
You clean up those handprints But someday when I’m grown You’ll wish you had just one Handprint to keep for your own.
I made this handprint for you So that one day when I am tall You’ll remember what my hand looked like Long ago when it was small.
