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!
