Owl Handprint Craft Idea

Hi friends! With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I figured I would share another SIMPLE kid craft idea that can be easily framed and turned into a gift on the fly.

This Handprint Owl Keepsake tutorial is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this together and creating a great keepsake to treasure for years to come {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}

In this post, I’ve included a FREE gender-neutral owl printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some paint and have your children add their handprints to complete the owl craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

Hoot hoot! What are you waiting for? Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable Paper & Paint Handprint Owl. Then place in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook for the lucky receiver. Whatever you do with it – I hope you enjoy making it with your child!

Happy crafting my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s complete paper owl keepsake with us by tagging our page on Instagram to see it! I seriously can’t wait to hear from you! #gluedtomycrafts
