Kids Crafts – 15+ Hand And Fingerprint Art Ideas

by

 

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.
