Where It All Began

Child to Cherish is a family business, and we've been saving tiny handprints since 1987. Our founder, Patrice Lowe, set out to help families hold on to something that passes far too quickly: those fleeting little handprints. A baby's hand is only that small for a moment, and she wanted parents and grandparents to have a way to keep it.

All these years later, that is still the heart of everything we make. Every ornament and every keepsake begins with the same simple idea: little hands grow up fast, and the memories are worth keeping.

Now at Pottery Barn Kids

That's why it means so much to us that families shopping at Pottery Barn Kids can now find a Baby's First Christmas handprint ornament made by Child to Cherish. It's a joy to picture even more tiny handprints being pressed, saved, and hung on trees this holiday season, along with all the "remember when they were this small?" moments still to come. For a family business like ours, seeing something we make reach even more homes is a gift we'll never take for granted.

You can find it on the Pottery Barn Kids website.

A Note About Our Photos

The ornament made for Pottery Barn Kids is its own design, built with different materials than the one you see here. Every photo in this post shows our original, which we make with our oven-bake Claydough and set in a natural wooden ring, finished with a red ribbon, a candy cane tag, and a little sparkle of glitter.

If that's the one that has your heart, you'll find it right here in our shop: Claydough Handprint Ornament in Wood Ring.
