Dr Seuss Inspired - Handprint Lorax Keepsake Idea

Lorax Handprint Keepsake Idea

Last week I shared our Dr Seuss inspired Fox Craft on Glued To My Crafts and today I’m sharing this cute Paper Handprint Lorax Keepsake Craft. Both crafts are in honor of Dr. Seuss’ Birthday coming up on March 2nd.

This Handprint Beard Lorax paper craft is not only fun to do with your child one afternoon BUT it’s also a great keepsake that you can treasure for years to come. I have high hopes to have a reading corner for my son in his room one day and I hope I can make a few Dr. Seuss inspired pieces to go in that very corner. I have plans to pick up an inexpensive picture frame in the coming days and place his piece in there for easy hanging.

On that note, why pay big bucks for stuff like that in the store, when you can make it yourself – for half the price!? Am I right?! I hope you keep that in mind as you recreate our crafty paper Lorax craft idea with your child this month!

Well – enough chit chat from me! Below you will find a full tutorial of what I used and did for our Handprint Bearded Lorax Paper Keepsake. Happy crafting, my friends!

Dr Seuss Inspired - Handprint Lorax Keepsake Idea

Celebrate the beloved Dr. Seuss children’s book with today’s Handprint Lorax Keepsake kid craft idea! It’s perfect to pass the time AND have a great piece to show off for years to come, afterwards!

Craft Supplies:

  • Have children lay both of their hands flatly on the yellow cardstock.
  • Using the pencil trace both of your child’s hands to create two handprints.

  • With the leftover cardstock, cut out two long, rectangle shaped eyebrows.
  • Use the school glue to adhere the cutouts to the orange piece of paper.
  • To finish the Handprint Lorax Keepsake, glue the brown pom pom and the two wiggle eyes on.

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!
