Chick Handprint Card – Keepsake Idea For Easter

Today’s easy Chick Handprint Card is a simple kid craft idea that can be done in a “spur of the moment.”

It doesn’t take much time, is pretty inexpensive and is perfect to send to someone in honor of Easter or just because. Make within minutes and get it in the mail the very next day!

And just a little background on why I love this craft so much – it’s simply perfect to send to grandparents.

Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families and these types of handprint crafts are extra special to keep them involved.

Sides that – handprint crafts are just the best to do at this age anyways. With kids growing so fast these days, it’s great to create little keepsakes to remember those tiny hands!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your paint supplies and make some adorable cards to send to grandparents and special friends today. Don’t forget to make one for yourself too and throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s handprint Easter chick card with us on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrasfts

Directions:

* First things first – squirt your yellow craft paint on a paper plate.

* Now pick a hand – any hand! Simply paint your child’s hand completely yellow and press it in the center of a sheet of white cardstock paper.
* Gently lift up their hand to reveal the handprint design underneath.
* Clean off excess paint from their hand with a few baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink.
* Now to give the handprint design the look of a chick! Squirt the remaining craft paint colors on the same paper plate.
* Using small paint brushes, draw on facial features and some legs.
* When done painting, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, trim down the white piece of paper {with the handprint chick} and glue it to another piece of colored cardstock, that is folded in half.
* To finish the Chick Handprint Card, add your scrapbook stickers to say “A Little Chick Told Me” on the front. Go ahead and also add a special message like “It’s Easter – Happy celebrating!” inside, to tie it all together.
* Then slip it in an envelope for easy mailing.
