Reaper

Halloween Handprint Craft Tips

Because some of the graphics will get covered by your toddler’s handprint, you have options for bringing forth things like the eyes and mouths.

In this set, we’ve given you guides where to place the eyes and mouth. Take a look at these options for how to make them pop!

Use Googly Eyes where the eyes go for a 3-D Pop (I personally like this set of wiggle eyes where there are googly eyes of different sizes and colors)
Print a second set of the Halloween handprint prints and allow your child to decorate the eyes and mouth. After the hand print dries, cut out the decorated eyes and mouth. Glue and lay on top of the dried handprint.
If creating an item with different colors, do this in two steps. For example, paint the palm one color and place on the printable sheet. Once dry, place the finger and apply to the printed sheet. This allows you to add multiple colors without the smudge.

When putting together this Halloween Arts & Crafts, use washable Tempera paint. Print on white cardstock for the best turn out.

DIY Halloween Stickers

As an extra bonus, printable Halloween stickers are also included. These are great to use with handprint art or on their own. The kids will love using them to decorate their artwork, and you’ll love how they add a special touch.

To print your stickers, fill your printer with 8.5 x 11 sticker paper and print as normal. Trim the stickers, peel and add to your art.

To use the stickers, simply print them out on sticker paper and cut them out. Then let the kids get creative!

How to Use Halloween Handprints Crafts

There are several ways to use these handprints. Once you do this craft with the kiddos, you may be wondering what you can do with them! Be aware that kids LOVE doing simple handprint art and sticking Halloween stickers anywhere they can! Here are a few really good ideas for how to use these handprints for Halloween crafts!

Halloween Décor

Use them as part of a Halloween decoration. Mamas can hang them up around the house or classroom for a festive touch. Pass the finished craft onto neighbors to hang in their windows. They could make spooky Halloween mantle décor too. Just frame and enjoy.

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.

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.

The player that gets the most in the time period, wins.

Witch Hat Ring Toss

In this Halloween ring toss game, have a triangle of pumpkins or witch hats. Assign each a different point value. Using pool rings, glow in the dark necklaces or ropes glued in a circle, players get a number of ring throws to rank up the highest number of points. You can add two liter bottles below the witch hats to keep them standing. With Christmas right around the corner, transfer this holiday party game into something festive with Santa Hats. | Museum of Visual Materials

Roll-On, Buddy

There are two ways to do roll-on, buddy game. In this game challenge, each player must roll an apple, pumpkin, or orange across the floor from a starting line to a finish line only their nose.

You can turn this into a Halloween Minute to Win it Game too, giving each player 60 seconds to get the most tosses in the bucket. | Playground Park Bench

Halloween Charades

Who doesn’t love Charades and acting out? Use these Halloween charades words. Split teams in two. One person acts out what’s on the card. Each team guesses what the player on their is acting out. Team that guesses the most correctly, wins.

Eyeball Relay Race

This Halloween game race is just like an egg and spoon race. Divide teams into two for this relay. The first person in line has a spoon and plastic eyeball. Every other player has a spoon. Each person with a spoon and eyeball must carry the eye on the spoon to a designated spot and back. As soon as the player returns to the line, he or she passes the eye to next person in line. Continue until everyone gets a turn. If the eye drops, return to your line and start over. | ABCDee Learning

Eyeball Hunt

For this fun Halloween game, think along the lines of an Easter egg hunt and have players collect as many plastic eye balls hidden around the backyard as they can. Turn it into a timed game and see who can snatch the most for even more fun. | Joy in the Works

When the music stops, the aim is to burst each other’s balloon & protect your own. If you burst another, you get the prize inside. The winner is the last person left with a balloon. | Delia Creates

Fill the jar halfway with vinegar, then add a few drops of food coloring and glitter. Squeeze in liquid dish soap and stir. Add a teaspoon of baking soda, stir again, and watch the foaming begin! | Messy Little Monster

Whipped Cream Gummy Worm Pie

Get messy with a pie eating contest Halloween style. Each player is given a pie tin filled with whipped cream and six candy corn hidden inside. Using only their mouths, players have one minute to retrieve as many candy corns as they can. When retrieved , they grab the candy corn and place it on plate beside them. The player with the most candy corn retrieved and placed on the plate, wins. | Frugal Ginger

Pass the Pumpkin

Like the well-known pass the orange game. Split teams in two. Get an orange that has a jack-o-lantern faced colored on. Stand players in a line. The game is simple: you need to put the orange under the chin of the first person, who must then pass it to the next person and place it under their chin, without using hands.

Printable Christmas Gift Exchange Game

Put a spin on traditional gift-giving with this printable Christmas Gift Exchange Game! It’s more fun than simply wrapping up a gift and sticking someone’s name on it. With this game, you won’t know whose gift (or what’s inside it) that you could possibly end up with!

Christmas Gift Exchange Game

This game is fun for giving gifts where the group of people are similar in age. Like with a sports team, boy/girl scouts, or during a classroom party. That way, everyone will be gifting items that all participants can enjoy.

Fun Christmas Gift Fact

Speaking of gift-giving, do you know why we give our family members and friends gifts at Christmas in the first place? According to Why Christmas?, gift-giving has become a holiday tradition because the Wise men brought gifts to Jesus at birth. He received gold, frankincense, and myrrh when He was born.

Though we give and receive very different presents today, it’s all because we want to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season…and that he was given gifts too.

Getting Ready for Christmas Gift Giving

To get started with this Christmas gift exchange game, everyone should agree on a date for the event. Make it a total evening of fun and laughs with finger foods and desserts, or go all out with a potluck dinner. Gifts are best given after a full belly!

You will also need a spending limit on the gifts you plan to exchange. You wouldn’t want to bring a $10 gift and go home with an item valued at $50! Setting a budget makes the game fair for everyone. Most people will probably be okay with a $25 budget.

Items you could give for this Christmas gift exchange include:

Comfy items (Blanket, slippers, cozy socks)
A basket full of treats
Gift cards to specific stores or restaurants
Cute coffee mug that would be meaningful to anyone playing

Playing the Christmas Gift Exchange Game

When it’s time to exchange your gifts, the real fun begins! Incorporate a fun holiday party game. Print the cards on cardstock paper so they will withstand the entire game – and for future years of use, if everyone enjoys playing.

Put the cards in a stack on a table and let everyone gather around with their gift in their hands. Take turns drawing cards and following the directions.

Example directions on the printable cards for this game include:

Swap gifts with the person to your left
Swap gifts with the tallest person in the room
Swap gifts with the oldest person playing
Swap gifts with the person whose birthday is next
Swap gifts with someone wearing a sweater

The more cards you turn over and follow, the more the gifts will get scrambled up around the room. Once everyone has drawn a card (or 2 cards, 3 cards….however long you want the gift exchange game to last), it’s time to OPEN the gifts!

This game is so fun, it’s easy for it to become one of your yearly Christmas traditions!

Oven Mitt Game

In this silly Christmas game idea, have a wrapped gift. Choose a number like three. The youngest player puts on two oven mitts and tries to unwrap a gift (you can have multiple wrapped gifts in each wrapped gift.) The player to their right begins rolling the dice. When a three is rolled, that player gets the mitts and gift and begins to unwrap the gift. The player to their right begins rolling to dice. This game goes on until someone unwraps the gift. They get to keep the unwrapped gift.

Ornament Spoon Relay

Just like an egg spoon relay. Divide teams into two and players must carry an ornament on the spoon to a designated spot and back. If the ornament drops, return to the starting line. Fastest team, wins.
