Instructions

  • Paint the child's hand and stamp the handprint onto paper.
  • Use markers, more paint, or glue on google eyes to complete the animal!

Notes

  • If you want a more sparse handprint where you see more fingerprints, use a small paintbrush to coat a dry hand with paint and stamp right onto paper.
  • If you want a more solid looking print, coat the hand and stamp a scrap piece (or just make two of the same handprints to make more than one animal) and then immediately add another coat of paint and stamp another piece and that second stamp will look more filled in.
  • For easier paint removal, don’t let the paint fully dry before washing it off, so make as many handprints in that color as you want and then wash before it fully dries.
  • If you are worried about paint on clothes or tables, try a smock or coated tablecloth for easy clean up!
