Handprint art is one of the most classic, beloved gifts of all time. Every mother, father, grandparent or even close friend, will love the gesture of it. Best of all – you don’t have to spend a ton of money to create a one-of-a-kind piece!

With the change of warm weather just around the corner, I have yet ANOTHER handprint keepsake idea for you all and this one pays tribute to those campfires we will all be sitting around this summer. It’s the perfect idea for summer/bible camps, vacation keepsakes or even just to remember the best summer EVER. And since you already have the most important part of making this keepsake – a hand – it’s going to be a cinch for you to pull it together!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those supplies and get to work on making your special Handprint Campfire piece with your child today!

Supplies:

* Large Blank Canvas or Cardstock
* Paint {we used red/orange/brown}
* Paper Plate
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
* Brown Cardstock
* Glue
* Cotton Balls
* Scissors

Directions:

* First are the handprints that look like “flames.” Simply paint your child’s hands and press them on the canvas. We did a set of three handprints {in red/orange} in the center of our paper.
* Next grab your brown paint and paint some “logs” underneath the frames.
* To finish the Handprint Campfire – cut out a “stick” from the brown cardstock and glue it onto your canvas/paper, along with the cotton balls to give the look of someone roasting marshmallows. Then let it all dry completely before displaying proudly!
