Simple Handprint Crafts


Back at Christmas (which seems soooo long ago now, even if it's only a matter of weeks !), I told you about the fabulous package of crafting goodies that we'd received from Yellow Moon, including this big pad of paint which is ideal for making hand and foot prints.


Pierre had great fun covering pages with handprints and I was relieved to see that it washed off easily. There was no stopping him so I decided to make them into artwork.


I did the first one to give him the idea and he was very excited to see his handprint turn into a tropical fish, with the addition of some foam shapes !


We worked together on this one - not quite sure what animal it is but you get the idea !


Pierre got very creative with his and came up with - I quote - "a mummy crab getting married to a daddy crab" !


Juliette joined in too and came up with a funky apple tree.

I've had to promise that we'll have another go, using footprints next time, so I'll let you know how we get on !



Disclosure : We received some crafting goodies from Yellow Moon.

  3. These look fantastic. I'm really keen to try but quite scared too - my two are only 5 and 3 - even colouring in is an extreme sport for them!

  7. I love the idea of using your hand for the branches of a tree! That would make a great gift idea for relatives if framed.
