I don't have any pictures for this craft, but it's easy enough so you should be able to follow the directions without a problem.
What You'll Need:
--Finger paint
--Heavy duty poster board or a paper plate
--construction paper
--scissors
--glue
Alternate Options If You're Missing Any of the Above:
--in lieu of finger paint: Washable markers or crayons
--construction paper or computer paper will work if you don't have poster board/paper plates
--You can skip the steps requiring glue and scissors if you have neither
Instructions:
1. Cut out a construction paper heart large enough to fit your little one's hand print inside
2. Glue the heart to the center of your poster board, paper plate, or whatever kind of paper you're using.
Alternate: If you do not have glue or scissors, draw a heart in the middle using a marker or pen.
3. Have your tot spread their fingers and dip their hand in finger paint. Help them press their hand print firmly into the middle of the heart.
Alternate: Trace their hand in the center of the heart using your markers or crayons.
4. Help them write their name and (of if they're too small do it for them) under their heart.
Something Extra:
Pick out one of the following hand print poems and write it or print it out and glue it somewhere on your paper or on the back of your paper plate:
Option 1:
My dirty little fingerprints
I've left on every wall,
And on the drawers and table tops,
I've really marked them all.
But here is one that won't rub off,
I'm giving it to you,
Because I'm thankful for a mommy just like you!
Option 2:
This is the hand
You used to hold
When I was only
__ years old.
Option 3:
These little hands can wave Hello
Or put smudges on the wall
They can fold in prayer, throw a kiss
Or reach up so very tall
They'll clasp your hand for a little stroll
Or shape a ball from clay
But most of all, they'll stay with you
When I'm grown up and far away
