Handprints in Clay

This is so easy to make but once you make it you can cherish forever. As your hands grow bigger and bigger, you can still come back and check out how small they used to be. Just get out some clay and roll it to be flattened to 1" thick. Then press one of your hands into the clay. Then let it dry completely before painting it. This is a great keepsake gift to make for family and friends.

A Great Preschool Handprints Flower Craft

This is a really fantastic craft for teachers and parents to do with their young preschoolers, toddlers, and young children. This makes a great gift for a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and other special occassions. Now pick a color for your flowers, such as yellow, orange, red, purple, etc. And you will also need green for the stems and leaves for the flowers. Protect your work table with magazines, garbage bags, or magazines. Then put down a piece of paper to use for your handprints flowers activity. Put your paint in disposable tin pans, plates, or trays of some sort. Have your child place his or her hand into the flower color paint and make sure that it isn't dripping wet. Then make as many flowers as your child wants to. Next wash your child's hands and dry them as well. Then have your child dip his fingers into the green paint and draw a line for flower stems. Then make a finger print for each stem. Wait for it to dry and then give it to your Mom or Dad or Grandmother, etc as a gift.

Make Noisy Handprint Gloves

To make these noisy handprint gloves, just get some cellophane and trace your handprints ... actually make them bigger than your handprints. Make 2 Handprints for each hand. You will then fold the seams in a bit and then sew them together...except for the bottom so you can put them on your hands. These can be very annoying handprint gloves, since they make quite a bit of noise....so ask your Mom or Dad first for permission. This is a perfect craft for a teacher who wants to send the craft home to parents. :)

How to Make Gilded Plaster Handprints and Footprings

For this craft you will need one 6" diameter paper plate, one 16" ribbon, one pound package of patching plaster (makes between 10 and 12 plaques), gold paint, Vaseline, 1 orange stick, 1 damp cloth and towel to wipe child's hands, and newspaper. To make this, let child cover the inside of the plate with a slight film of Vaseline while you mix some patching plaster with water. Mix to thick consistency. Place ribbon, loop fashion, in plate so loop extends inside of the plate. Pour in plaster. It will begin to harden quickly. Before it "sets" too much, let child press his hand into center of plaster. This will make an impression as deep as the hand. Allow plaques to harden a little more, then print child's name under hand with an orange stick. Gild plaque. Tie ribbon in bow. (See sketch.) Pressing a child's bare foot into the plaster makes a unique plaque. Follow the same procedure as for handprint.

Make Little Helping Hands Gift

A great way to show your parents that you love them is to show them that you want to help them when they need it. Show them that you really care by making these little helping hands. Pick either pink, tan, or brown construction paper...depending on which is closest to your hand colors. Then trace your handprint on one of these pieces of paper. Use this as the pattern of your hand...then cut out a bunch more of these hands....at least 5 more hands. Then on one of the hands, write neatly the following: "Dear (insert name), Happy hands are helping hands, And helping hands are blessed. So I will give my little hands To help those I love best, Love, (your name)". Punch a hole in the bottoms of all of the hands...with a hole puncher. Find ribbon, yarn, or string and tie them all together into a bow. Or you could connect all of the hands with a brass paper fastern. On all of the other hands, write things that you will help your Mom or Dad with...such as "I will make my bed every day" or "I will take out the trash." Your Mom or Dad will appreciate this gift on so many levels.

Another Helping Hands Craft

You will need one 6" x 9" piece construction paper, one piece cloth 2" square, scissors, paste, crayons, a few pins and a needle, and one 6" x 9" sheet of paper for glove pattern. Firstly, print this glove pattern and then trace pattern on construction paper ... cut it out (sketch a). Then you may place your own hand on the glove and trace around it (sketch b). He may decorate it with a crayon or marker and perhaps print on it, "A Helping Hand." Make folds where indicated, unfold and paste or staple cloth to glove (sketch c). Be careful to put paste along top side of cloth only. Now insert a few pins and a needle into the cloth, fold over cuff of glove and it is finished (sketch d). This is a great gift for Mom on Mother's Day ... she will now be able to find her needles and pins when she is gong to need to mend or sew something.

Making Handprints with Splattered Paint

First of all, make sure to protect your tables with newspaper or layed out plastic. Then give each child a piece of paper and ask them to place their hand on the piece of paper. Also add a piece of tape to the bottom of the paper - as pictured above. Then get a bunch of different colors.....dip the toothbrush into the first paint ... then use a craft stick to splatter it over each child's hand. Then wash the paint off and dry the toothbrush completely. Then toothbrush in the next color and then splatterit over each child's hand again. After completed...let dry. then you will have a picture like the one above...you just need to write something nice on the top and the child's name and age to finish off the project.
