How to use the template

Print out the template below, it will print out on one full page. Make sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your emails within 5 minutes.

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

Let the kids decide what color handprint they want to use, we have chosen orange for our fish.

Use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of paint to their hand. Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Place their hand with their fingers toward the right corner, with their thumb next to the eye. Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull your child’s hand off really gently to avoid any smudges.

Allow the paint to dry completely, then have fun coloring in the letter F, the fish’s fin, and the water bubbles.

Take a trip to see some fish and use our free aquarium scavenger hunt printable to make your adventure even more exciting!
