First Words, First Tooth + More: 12 Cool, Creative Projects to Mark a Milestone

Bag It, Tag It

Collect the first snips of your kids’ hair and bag it. You can add to the collection as you go with new baggies for her first tooth, her first report card, and any other firsts that come along the way. (Babalisme)

What you’ll need: mini zip-top bags; permanent markers; clothespins or magnets; and the first snippet of hair.

Directions: Label a zip-top bag “My First Haircut” using a permanent marker and include a space for your child’s name, the date and a personal design. Collect a bundle of your kid’s hair, slip it inside and seal. Then use a clothespin to hang it in their room, or a magnet to display it on your fridge.
