• Construction paper or cardstock
• Non-toxic washable paint
• Glue sticks or white school glue
• Safety scissors
• Markers or crayons
• Stickers or stamps
• Clean sponges or paintbrushes
• Glitter or glitter glue (for those who don’t mind a bit of sparkle)

Craft #1: Handprint Art

Nothing says personalized like a tiny handprint. The uniqueness of each print makes this craft a forever keepsake. Let’s start our crafting journey with some fun handprint art ideas!

Best Dad Hands Down

Express how awesome Dad is with this simple yet love-filled project.

1. Choose a piece of construction paper to be your canvas.
2. Help your preschooler choose a paint color for their handprint.
3. Pour some paint into a shallow container or onto a paper plate.
4. Assist your child in coating their hand evenly with paint.
5. Gently press their hand onto the construction paper to leave a handprint.
6. Once the print is dry, help them write “Best Dad Hands Down!” around or under the handprint with markers or crayons.
7. Add decorations such as stickers or draw some hearts around it to jazz it up.

This craft is super flexible, and you can turn it into a card or frame it for Dad’s office. The important part is that it comes from the heart—and the hands—of your little one.

Dad’s coffee break can be a little more enjoyable with a mug designed by his favorite preschooler.

2. Let your child doodle or create thumbprints using non-toxic, oven-safe paint.
3. Transform those thumbprints into little monsters by adding google eyes and drawing in arms or legs.
