Handprint Craft for Mother’s Day

You probably have all of the supplies to make these fun little Mother’s Day handprint art crafts with your preschoolers.

Craft supplies needed for the kids’ handprints:

• cardstock (or white paper)
• washable paints (these are the ones we use for all of our handprint crafts)
• paintbrush
• Wipes!! It helps to have these handy so you don’t make a complete mess of your table!

How to use the handprint templates

These free templates are free to print but are for personal or classroom use only. Scroll to the bottom of the page to get the pdf file.

Print out the templates below, they will print out on five full pages. They will print in portrait on 8.5″ x 11″ paper, so make sure to check the printer settings.

You can of course print this on normal printer paper, but with all of our crafts, they always look better on cardstock.

Dinosaur Mother’s Day Handprint Art

The first Mother’s Day handprint is the dinosaur one, my love for you will never go extinct with Happy Mother’s Day written at the bottom

Let the messy little monster decide what color to paint their little hands. We opted for a light blue handprint, but you could choose whatever color you want.

Use a foam brush to add a thin layer of paint to their hand. You could use a handprint dish if the children find the brush too tickly.

Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Cover their hand with paint and place their hand down under the neck of the dinosaur.

Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull the child’s hand up carefully making sure you don’t smudge them.
