As a mom of two boys I have become incredibly familiar with how important mowing is. Both my boys have been obsessed with watching people mow and helping/pretending to mow at the same time. So while we have a whole post dedicated to handprint Father’s Day card ideas when I thought of what to make this year I had to add another one!
For this handprint craft you can use a handprint or a footprint. I used a handprint because my 2-year old would leave little tracks all over the place before I could get the wet wipe across his foot. But either would be cute! We filled out this printable Father’s Day questionnaire while waiting for the paint to dry and it makes a really sweet gift!

How to Make a Mower Handprint Craft
Step 1. Using a paint brush add paint to your child’s hand. You could also use a paint stick or stamp pad. Press the hand horizontally on the page. Allow the handprint to dry.
Step 2. Draw on the handles of the mower. Then draw grass or any other details.
Step 3. Cut out pieces of black cardstock into circles for the wheels, and a rectangular shape for the motor. Glue onto the paper. Alternatively you could draw them on with a black marker.
