What do you do for the mother that has everything? I struggle with this every year. While flowers are always the go to, they are a temporary gift. If you are looking for a perfect mother’s day gift that is frozen in time, handprint art is a perfect idea. Mother’s day handprint crafts can be made at home or even in the classroom. In fact, we all can agree a baby handprint and toddler handprint are the most precious thing of all.

So let’s get started. Learn the best paint for making handprint art and then download and enjoy these adorable handprint mother’s day printable cards.

What kind of paint do you use for handprint art?

When making handprint art for mother’s day, it’s important to have the right paint. Especially if you want your product to last a long time. First you must answer the question, what medium is the handprint art going on. Once you have determined if you are using wood, paper, or canvas, you can then determine the paint source. You also want to use a non-toxic, organic paint as you are applying it to your child’s hand.

best paint for handprint art

The following paints can be used on the following sources…

Paper or Cardstock: A non-toxic washable tempera paint will easily stick to paper.

Canvas: Acrylic paint labelled non-toxic is safe to use.

Wood: Milk paint is made of natural ingredients making it the safest choice.

Drywall: Choose a non-toxic interior paint commonly found at Home Depot, Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams.

It is important to wash hands (feet/fingers) immediately after the print is created.

Is there a trick to getting handprint art smudge-free?

Getting the perfect handprint can be a challenge. A few tricks to help a smaller child create a handprint without smudging. Follow these five tips when creating kids’ handprint art for mom.

Tip 1: Have the right paint. When using paper, the best paint for easy clean-up is a non-toxic washable tempera paint.

Tip 2: Use distraction. If you can get an adult or older kids to help you, distract the child while you go through the motions of painting their hand and applying it to the paper. If you do not have as second helper, use an electronic or television to quickly deter their eyes.

Tip 3: Give the handprint artwork a few test runs. Print out extra copies of the mother’s day cards and practice with your little hands.

Tip 4: Use a paintbrush to evenly paint on hand and footprints. Remove excess paint before applying the child’s hand to the printable or canvas.

Tip 5: Lay down the hand very slowly and carefully. Start with laying down the pinky and slowly rolling the hand down on the paper until you hit the thumb. Once all the fingers and palm are placed, press your finger tips above the child’s handprint to ensure no part of the child’s hand is not applied to the paper. When you are ready to lift the handprint off, do this in a reverse motion. Slowly peeling the paper back from the child’s hand.

Give yourself grace. Sometimes the most adorable children’s hand prints artwork is found is in the mistakes. Then years down the road, small smudge might remind the gift receiver of a once-upon-a-time wiggly toddler.

Mother’s Day Handprint Art

The best mother’s day gifts begin with a handprint (footprint or fingerprint.) We put together an adorable Mother’s Day Cart printable set that displays these adorable sticky hands. In our printable Mother’s Day Handprint Keepsake Art set, we use all three prints.

These crafts can be made at home and are perfect for the preschool classroom. Choose the color of your choice. Guide preschoolers and younger kids as they hand their hand down. Allow them to add their name and have fun making these adorable  children’s hand print and keepsake art.

Handprint Art Gift Tips

To preserve your handprint artwork for mom, consider laminating the project with an at home thermal laminator. Test a dry piece of art before laminating all your projects. It important to choose a low-heat setting.

You can also head to the Dollar Store and pick up low cost photo frames. If you don’t like the color of the picture frame, use a quick drying spay paint to change the color to match your mother’s day gift color palette.

If you need a quick drying tip on your printable art, apply thin coats of paint. Once the art is complete, place the papers to dry in an area with circulating air. You can also use a heater or hair dryer.

Need a family spring activities checklist? Download and save this free Spring Bucket List printable when planning family fun this spring!

Spring Activities Bucket List Printable

Spring is a time of new beginnings and exciting changes. One way to celebrate the season is by making a bucket list for spring. To help get your family moving and to help them break out of their (egg)shell, I’ve put together an exciting Spring Activities Bucket List printable to share with you.

What is a Bucket List?

A bucket list can be anything from things you want to do, places you want to go or people you want to see this time of year. For many people, a bucket list is a list of activities they would like to accomplish as a family. For others, a bucket list can include things to do before you die.

A bucket list can be short, like for a period of time like a season . Your list can be seasonal like a Christmas bucket list, or be made up of all the things that are unique to the months of March, April, and May. It can also be long like fun things you would like to accomplish in a lifetime.

The list can focus on indoor activities, things to do on vacation, or even over a school break Share these activities with others or make them solo.  There’s really no limit to what you can put on your personalized bucket list or family bucket list.

A new season. A new tradition.

Spring Bucket List Ideas

Spring is the perfect time to start a new family tradition and make a plan to spend time together. We always have the best of intentions to do things as a family, but it seems like something always comes up. This year, make a plan and stick to it with this handy dandy spring bucket list!

One fun way to welcome the new season is to get outdoors and take in fresh air. Warmer weather opens up the list of ideas and outdoor activities you can do together. Of course, a list makes everything organized and together. Plus crossing things off your list is a great feeling and the reward of making great memories together is even better!

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Many of these ideas will offer the best time for kids of all ages – toddlers to adults.

That sneaky little guy…. the leprechaun left behind fun treasure hunt for St. Patty’s Day. Download and print a St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt printable with 20 rhyming riddles for your child today!

St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt

St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner and it’s time to celebrate all things rainbow and lucky with a colorful St. Patrick’s Scavenger Hunt. Planning a fun for this Irish holiday can be a bit tricky, but with this St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun activity your kids will be over the rainbow looking for clues.

St. Patrick’s Day Traditions

St. Patrick’s Day is the day when we celebrate all things Irish, including a little bit of luck and magic. It’s a great time to spend with family or friends, eat delicious food, wear green clothes, and enjoy different Irish traditions!

There are plenty of ways to get in on the fun too – you can make your own lucky charms for good luck throughout the year, make your own DIY leprechaun trap or learn about traditional Irish music instruments and dancing.

And if you’re looking for something else besides drinking green beer (or any other green drinks), there are tons more Saint Patrick’s Day traditions and celebrations to fit every type of personality and family. No matter what kind of fun you’re looking for, there’s a good chance that you can find it on March 17th!

But if you’re looking for a way to add a bit of extra fun and excitement to your day, why not try this fun idea – a scavenger hunt? This St. Patty’s Day Scavenger Hunt is perfect for all ages and will have everyone racing around looking for clues to the leprechaun’s hiding spot.

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

That sneaky little leprechaun escaped the the Leprechaun Trap. However he left behind a fun St. Patricks’ Day activity. This printable is perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day party or family activity. Just download, print, and cut out the clues. Hide them around the house for a fun challenge and discover (perhaps) a Leprechaun’s pot of gold.

What You’ll Need:

  • Printer
  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Clues (download below)
  • A St. Patrick’s Day treat for participants (like Gold Chocolate Coins)

Leprechaun Scavenger Hunt Clues

In order to make this St. Patty’s Day Scavenger Hunt really fun, we added some rhyming clues that your child can solve as they race around the house in this at home treasure hunt. If you have toddlers or younger kids, pair them with older children to help solve the St. Patrick’s’ Day Scavenger Hunt riddles and clue cards.

A few examples of rhyming clues include…

Leprechaun Scavenger Hunt Clues

I think I hear something jiggling like gold. Run to the place where you keep the food cold. (Refrigerator.)

St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt Clues

You’re doing a great job on this treasure hunt, continue the fun when you look out front. (Lawn or front porch.)

St. Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt Clues

Irish kisses and shamrock pinches, search in the place where you keep your riches. (Piggy bank or wallet.)

… now to grab your fun St. Patrick’s Day printable.

Treasure Hunt Printable

To get started, download and print the clues on white cardstock. There are twenty different clues for you to choose from, making it easy to set up a custom scavenger hunt that works for your home.

Download your St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt PDF here.

There’s also a clues & answers page just in case you get stumped on one of the clues. It also makes setting up the St. Patty’s day activity quick and easy to set up.

Instructions

Once printed, cut out the clues and hide them around the house so they match the list given. The idea behind the scavenger hunt is that a leprechaun has hidden treasure that your kids need to find.

You’ll want to put together a themed prize for the final clue location. This could be anything from a pot of gold coins to a special treat like some yummy candy or an Irish-themed toy.

Once everything is ready, gather the kids and explain the rules. Save the first card. Then, it’s time to get busy hunting!

The best part about this scavenger hunt is that it can be tailored to any age group, even adults! Just make sure to adjust the treats and small prizes at the end of the rainbow accordingly. Mini bottles of alcohol, chocolates, a rainbow charcuterie board and green beer would be a great adult prize for a St. Patrick’s Day treasure hunt!

Now that you’re all ready to go, download the clues and get started on this festive and fun family activity. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Inspirational Spring Easter Wreaths

“Hippity hop hop, Easter’s it’s way…”

Since we moved to DC, our front door decor has been lacking. Mostly because our wreaths didn’t fair well in the move but also because we went from having a front porch to a stoop. This means all my outdoor decor had to either be prepared only to last one year or had to have the ability to get wet. I went for plan A on most of the seasons, replacing my front door seasonal decor every year – no, it wasn’t the frugal way to go about things. However, I learned if I could craft my own projects, seasonal door decor because a little bit more affordable than buying a brand new wreath every year.

“April Fools!”

Ahhh, that phrase is all too familiar! I love to love and I love to share jokes with my kids. My humor is always is fun and never meant to hurt or be at the expense of others.

April Fools’ Day is an annual celebration that takes place on April 1. Filled with playing practical jokes and shouting April fools at the unfortunate victims. This isn’t a new tradition. In fact, the first April Fools took pace in the 1500s when the C Gregorian calendar took over from the Julian calendar and the first day of the year moved from late March/early April to January 1st.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs with Nail Polish

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs using Nail Polish and Easter Eggs plus easy DIY Egg Drying Rack Tutorial.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs

Dyeing eggs is so fun! We shared with you before, Easter Egg Ideas that are outside of the box. Today we have more Easter Egg ideas – How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs with Nail Polish. This egg dyeing process is really easy. We also share and easy tutorial on how to make your own Egg drying rack from a floral foam brick.

I have many memories of dyeing eggs as a kid. They were all of using short plastic cups and adding my hard boiled egg to colored water.  If I was lucky, we got a kit with little paper stands or even stickers – stickers were my favorite. We then displayed the eggs in Easter grass – my how times changes with the evolution of Pinterest! 

Many of these supplies you likely have in your home. Trying gathering old nail polish bottles that are almost out, otherwise pick up this Cheap Nail Polish set. We suggest gloves to keep the marbled pattern off your hands, but have some nail polish remover near by for a quick and easy clean up.

Marbled Easter Eggs Supplies:

  • Eggs
  • Room Temperature Water
  • Bowls
  • Cheap Nail Polish
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Plastic Gloves
  • Toothpicks
  • Floral Foam Brick
  • Flat Head Pins


How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs:

First, prepare your eggs. You can hard boil your eggs or use a small needle to blow the eggs out. If you blow the eggs out, you will be able to save them and use them year after year!

Second, you want to prep your drying rack.

In a piece of craft foam, place flat head pins in. This will allow your eggs to dry without having to be fully set down. You will appreciate this as it will keep your dyed eggs from becoming smudged!

Once your eggs are cooled, fill a small bowl with room temperature water.

Next pour nail polish in a swirling pattern on the water. If the water is the right temperature, the polish should float to the top. This is your goal!

You can mix different colors or stick to one color. We prefer a good swirl of colors.

 

To get a good swirl, use a toothpick to create a swirling pattern.

Put your gloves on to protect your skin. You do get some on you when placing your egg in the mixture. Dunk your egg into the polish water and set on the Easter egg drying rack to dry. You will be able to usually get half of the egg dyed at once, so have patience!

Allow to dry and then finally repeat on the other side if desired.

Enjoy your eggs! I get you will get many compliments! Don’t forget our other  Easter Egg Dyeing Ideas!
