Valentine’s Handprint Art
These Valentine’s handprint templates are simple to use, just print the pages you want and add a thin layer of washable paint to your child’s hand or foot.
Press, lift slowly, and let the page dry. The templates print on standard 8.5″ x 11″ paper and look best on cardstock, but regular paper works fine too.
