Last year, we stumbled across these gorgeous hand-paintings. Yes, literally, hand-painted hands. Works of art, I say.

All I could think of was whether I could ever find one talented enough to reproduce such beauty for a party one day. Then the realistic side of my brain realized that I wouldn't want my son coming near any of the furniture in my house. Because, oy, the mess.

Fast forward to last week, and my buddy Tom Ajello (his Twitter handle is @meat99) sends me info on these super cool animal hand temporary tattoos. Don't they make a nice alternative to the gorgeous artwork above?

These would make for perfect birthday party favors, stocking stuffers, to have fun on a long car trip. Or, for no particular reason other than FUN.
Looks like the only place you can find them is via online in the UK. Placing my order NOW.

The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
