Cost: $
Equipment
- Printer (I printed at my local office supply store)
Materials
- Red tempera paint
- Printed Valentine’s Day craft template (I printed on cardstock paper)
- Paint brush or sponge
- Scissors
Instructions
- Print the free valentine’s day craft template.
- Paint your baby’s hand or foot. Make sure to get paint all over it, covering every part so you get a great print.
- Firmly, but gently, press your baby’s hand or foot onto the paper inside the heart.
- Lift the hand or foot straight up and off of the paper so it doesn’t smear.
- Allow to dry. Then, repeat steps 2-4 with the other hand or foot.
- Once you have both handprints/footprints on the paper, let it dry.
- Finally, cut out the 8×10 by cutting along the dotted lines.
Notes
-Use tempera paint because it is washable and safe for kids. Whenever my kids get it on their clothes, I just throw it in the wash and it comes right out. It also washes off of their skin easily too.
-Print multiple copies, you’ll probably need to do more than one before you get it just right.
-I put my baby in his high chair so he couldn’t move around as much, this helped a lot!
