Lol, ahh yes, the handprint! I have had a few kids who don't like to get dirty and I have found that painting their hand (instead of them pressing it onto the plate of paint) seems to help. They enjoy the feeling of me painting it and laugh because it tickles!
The footprint is so much fun as well but waaaayyyy more work!
I do this, too. The kids seem to prefer having their hand, (or foot), painted with a brush.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
