Kids Crafts – 15+ Hand And Fingerprint Art Ideas

May 16, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

 

This roundup of kids crafts is all about handprints and paint. Art is important for young children but we tend to think that ART is for adults and Uni students. Art is important in allowing children to express themselves and teaches them fine motor skills as they play with the texture of paint, brushes and in this case their hands literally becoming one with the tactile paint.  Displaying their artwork gives them a sense of achievement and allows them to admire with confidence in their own creations. We have tried to highlight a few different styles of kids artwork pieces in the list below.

Cute Father’s Day Crafts Kids Can Make

Last year I wrote a bunch of posts around things to make for Father’s Day, from printables to hand print crafts and other crafts. But in case you need yet more ideas here are some more Father’s Day crafts that kids can make.

I’m not a fan of cliche Father’s Day gifts using tie motifs, fishing, grilling and the like, but if the dad in your life does happen to enjoy grilling, this painted grill caddy from Sustain My Craft Habit is a fun option. Buy a plain wooden caddy and kids can paint and decorate it to enjoy all summer long.

Picture frames and holders are always a great option. I love this painted rock and bead photo holder from Buggy and Buddy. Kids can paint the rock and string the beads, and choose a photo of themselves to put on the holder.

I also like this salt dough picture frame from The Soccer Mom Blog. It’s made in the shape of the word dad with holes in the letters for photos, but you could use the same idea to make a heart or another shape if you don’t need three openings.

Speaking of salt dough, of course you can use it for all sorts of crafts. Handprint and footprint crafts are lots of fun as a keepsake, and if your littles still have tiny feet, this salt dough footprint craft from Roaming Rosie is a fun project. Or make a bigger stepping stone footprint or handprint project with a stepping stone kit. I Watch Them Grow has the tutorial.

If your older kids are into string art, you can make a Dad themed project like this one from DIYnThings. If you don’t want to spell out dad, you can make a heart shape or some other symbol of your relationship with the dad in question. (Jump to about 1:53 in the video for this tutorial, or watch the whole thing for more crafty Father’s Day ideas.)

I also love this quick and easy building blocks gift from The Seasoned Mom. It gets kids thinking about things they love to do with dad, and offers options of things they can do together if they can’t think of what they want to do some future weekend.
