I have such a fun and adorable craft for you today! These are my 5 year old son, and 3 year old daughters hand and footprint crafts! I will cherish these forever, because they are stinkin adorable and they are made by them!
They cannot be any easier, a little messy, but super easy!
All you need is:
- a white piece of paper
- a colored piece of paper
- glue
- goggly eyes
- paint
- felt(for the elephant)
- Black marker
Directions:
You could probably just look at the photo’s and see how easy these are but I will guide you step by step.
- Cut out your white paper into squares or rectangles(it’s easier to do this all at once, especially if you’re making a number of them.
- Do the same with the colored paper, except make it an inch bigger for the border.
- Glue the white and the colored paper together.
- Apply a light layer of paint onto your child’s feet or hands, then firmly press onto the white paper. Making whatever animal you desire, be creative!
- Let them dry, them glue on your goggly eyes, and draw the mouth or tail…depending on what animal you’re making.
- Cut out the felt ear for the elephant and glue it on.
- Finished
There are hundred’s of animals, sea creatures, and insects to create…I just showed you a few that our family made.
These are perfect for thank you cards, or thinking of you cards, and what a wonderful keepsake for the receiver!
So have fun, and be creative!
