by Amanda Formaro
Hand print crafts are always popular, not to mention they make wonderful keepsakes! Make one each year to chart your child's growth, make extras for relatives too! This makes a great class project as well.
You will need
1 sheet of colored construction paper (except really dark colors)
handful of cottonballs
white craft glue
black acrylic paint
1 small wiggle eye
Sharpie marker, crayon or pen
6" colored ribbon
paint brush
If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!
What you do
Be sure to write the child's name, age and the year the project was created on the back of the construction paper.
Paint the palm of your child's hand with black paint. Immediately press hand onto paper to create handprint.
While paint is drying, wash off child's hand with soap and water.
Glue cottonballs to the palm part of the handprint, overlapping the fingers slightly.
Glue a wiggle eye onto the thumb. Use marker to draw on an ear.
Tie ribbon into a bow and trim excess. Glue onto "neck" area.
Use marker to write "Happy Easter" across the top of the project.
