Warren MacKenzie gave my New Zealand Granddaughter Bella her first cup
and bowl. Since then, I've been making the same for new babies I
know.
When my Michigan Grandkids, Caleb and Emma visited last, I threw a
couple of my terracotta pie plates. I let them dry a bit, and then
had them put their handprints in them. I lettered their names and
dates, and then coated them with several coats of Redart terra sig.
Fired to cone 1. Turned out pretty nice.

Ideally, pots for babies and small children should be slab constructed.
Ensure that the container created is extremely durable (as should be any
item intended for use with children).
It should also be constructed large enough to allow for growth for a
period of perhaps 20 years or so.
Once the container has been constructed and fired, place the baby or
small child inside and use a good grade epoxy
to seal the top shut. The container can then be stored for the required
number of years.
It is a relatively simple matter to crack the container open when the
child has reached the age with which it can be reasoned,
perhaps 20-25 years. Do not open sooner, as puberty is an especially
difficult time period for parents and children alike,
causing all sorts of aggravation to both parties!
Such a container is sure to be popular with parents...make plenty of them!

Anything with hand prints will be priceless one day. I have clay,
canvas, and t-shirts with hand prints from my son when he was
one-to-three years old. He is now 23. I also have a ceramic dog that he
made at age six.
