How to create the summer handprints

Grab the supplies above and get creating!

Let the little kids decide what color handprints and footprints they want to use.

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

Cover their hands or feet with washable paint and place them in the correct position on the paper.

Press down all along their hands and feet to make sure they transfer fully.

Pull the child’s hands and feet up carefully, ensuring you don’t smudge them.

Have a crabulous summer
