Printable Mummy Handprint Template

This handprint craft is quick to prep and fun to personalize.

The printable includes three pages: the first is the mummy template, and the other two are Halloween-themed stickers that kids can cut out and use to decorate their artwork.

If you’re printing on colored paper, just use the first page, the stickers look best on white cardstock.

How to Use

Start by setting up a space where paint won’t be a problem, paper towels or a plastic tablecloth help a lot.

Use a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of washable paint to your child’s hand, then guide them to press it gently over the mummy’s arms on the template. Press evenly to get a clear handprint, and lift carefully to avoid smudges.

Once the paint is dry, it’s time to decorate. You can glue on googly eyes for a fun touch or cut out the included Halloween stickers to add some flair.

My son used purple paint and added bats and candy stickers around his mummy, it turned out surprisingly adorable.

Feel free to mix it up with different paint colors or glitter if your kids are feeling extra creative.

Once everything’s dry, display the finished mummy handprint somewhere special, framed, on the fridge, or even in a Halloween scrapbook.

This is one of those crafts that’s just messy enough to be fun without being overwhelming, and the finished result always feels like something worth saving.
