How to use

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 brown for our rabbits’ ears.

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

Place their hands with their fingers pointing upwards toward the top corners of the page, with their palm starting above the rabbit’s face. Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully. There is a rabbit to find in our free animal color by number printable too.

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

Let the paint dry completely before coloring in the letter R and the rabbit’s face.

The most important thing though is just to have fun with this handprint art!
