Are you looking for fun craft ideas or kids’ activities to incorporate into your kid’s summer or preschool activities? Or maybe you just want a great keepsake for the years to come?

These fun and easy handprint crafts for toddlers are going to be perfect for you! You can use either white paint or feel free to add more colors and put them on paper plates for you to display!

Making kids’ handprints together with your family is a super simple craft that’s a fun idea at the same time. My kids enjoy making their art while we spend some much-needed quality time together as a family.

Ideas for Children’s Handprints

I have always loved doing handprint crafts with my kids. Even as their hands grow from tiny babies to big kids, the crafts are instantly personalized and something to hold onto. 

You will love this handprint craft idea as much as we do and I’m sure of it.

I recently discovered the book Beautiful Hands.

It’s a must-have if you like fun handprint art and it’s also really special to read with your kids. Little kids will love the colors and pictures the hands make and big kids will get an understanding of why mom loves handprint crafts. Along with this new favorite book, I’m sharing 25 handprint art ideas for kids too.

The story Beautiful Hands is based on one of the author’s experiences holding his children’s hands over the years and asking them “what will your beautiful hands do today?” The handprint illustrations throughout are made by the two author’s families. For the last page of the book, they used over 100 of their family and friends’ handprints. It’s a wonderful book and great for reading aloud. 

This DIY craft is also perfect as an art project to keep your kids occupied at home. You can let them make handprint flowers, handprint apples, handprint ornaments, family handprints to keep on their wall, or something to hang on to your Christmas tree when the holiday comes.

Not only does this add a personal touch to your home, but it also makes your kids feel as if they had a significant contribution to the holidays as well which is a good thing.

How Handprint Art Can Benefit Your Kids:

• Stimulate hands-on discovery
• Develop independence skills and increase their confidence by being able to finish things on their own
• Enhances fine motor and sensory play
• Kids can get as messy as they want to be
• Handprint crafts are an inexpensive way to promote creativity
