We reached out to loads of talented artists online to make this collection – just pick an idea and put your own spin on it at home!

Make a reusable milestone card with a chalkboard and paint. Add cute details like florals and milestone markers in paint, then update the board with chalk each month. You can take a pic of the board alongside your kiddo to keep track of their growth!

Celebrate the first Easter for a baby in your life with a hand and footprint chick! This not only makes a super cute craft to display or gift but marks a milestone so you can remember the day forever! Plus, you have a reference for just how little their hands and feet were at that age. Just grab some coloured paper and finger paints and get crafting!

Celebrate a love milestone by creating a handmade card. Paint a scene that makes you think of your significant other and write a loving message on the inside. After they’ve read it, stick it on the wall for some meaningful home décor!

Make your own milestone cards to mark the growth of a bouncing baby you know. This watercolour design features adorable native Australian birds with a gum nut baby, but you can pick any theme you want! Snap a pic of the bubba alongside the relevant milestone card each month to document their growth.

Help your kiddo get excited to graduate by crafting together! Cut out the first letter of their name from card paper and add colourful school-related designs on top. All you need is construction paper and glue to get started!

Grab some air dry clay and DIY these floral eggs to make next year’s Easter a milestone to remember. Make a day of foraging for flowers in the yard or on a walk and press them before adding them to your clay eggs. This is a great craft for the whole fam to get on board with!

Painted footprint ideas

Make an artwork to mark the foot size of a bubba you love. They grow up fast, so it’s always good to find ways to remember how little they once were.  This sun design is a super creative idea, but you could also paint a flower with foot petals, a dog with footprint ears, and more!
