Handprint Flamingo Keepsake Canvas - Glued To My Crafts

Want to add some tropical vibes to your home décor? Get the kiddos involved and make this one-of-a-kind painted handprint flamingo craft! It’s a fun, easy, and creative activity that the whole family can enjoy.

Craft Supplies:

  • Medium Sized Blank Canvas
  • Pink Craft Paint
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Paint Brushes
  • Baby Wipes

Directions:

  • First are the handprints. You will want to paint your child’s hands with the pink paint and have them press them on the canvas. {You may want to do some test runs on regular paper} You will want the fingers facing outward, while the palms of the hands, inward. This will be the body of flamingos. The fingers are their feathers.
  • Next are the details. I painted the necks of the flamingos in a heart curve/pink and added a red heart above the heads. This was followed with an orange beak and black eyes for them. Then I painted the legs of the flamingo, orange.
  • To finish off our artwork, I added a dot pattern around the edge of the canvas with my paintbrush. This was done by using the bottom end of my foam paint brush. I just dabbed it in paint, then on the canvas. Then of course, once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • To hang, you can easily hot glue some ribbon to the back. Don’t forget to add dates/ages/name on the back, so you remember when it was created!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
