Footprint Keychain Craft

Footprint Keychain

This fathers day we made a footprint keychain. They turned out quite cute! If I do say so myself! This could be made with your childs hand or even their own artwork, for any occasion. Have fun and let your imagination be your guide! Please excuse the lack of photos, I was not planning to post this craft so I didn't take as many as I normally would.

Recipe

Charlotte's favorite Butternut Squash
this one is a super easy yummy first food (4-6 mo.)
Ingredients (Supplies):

  • Butternut squash (as many as you want to make)
  • and deep baking dish/cake pan
  • large spoon and knife
  • water 
  • pureeing device of your choice (see here for details)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Wash your squash.
  • Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy guts.
  • Place cut side down in your baking dish arranging as you like to fit as many as possible.
  • Pour in water to about half inch in depth.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes. Skin will turn deep dark brown and shrink to a pucker.
  • Allow to cool and scoop out the "meat" 
  • Puree to desired constancy and follow procedures above for my freezing method or create your own method!
I use the same exact process for Apples and Pears too!
