Hand print crafts are a wonderful way to memorialize our kids when they are young.  Here are some creative ways to use your children’s hand prints in artwork.

handprint crafts for toddlersThese 25 Precious Handprint Art for Toddlers are a wonderful way to save memories of your little ones for when they get bigger.  They make great keepsakes and grandparent gifts.

Plus, these ideas will inspire you for other handprint projects you might want to try with those chubby little fingers.

Have fun making artwork, DIY gifts, keepsakes, homemade pieces and handprint crafts.

It is best to use non-toxic & washable tempera paints.  Be sure that they are labeled non-toxic!  And accidentally using non-washable paint is a mistake you will make only once.
