Handprint Fish Puppets - Kid Craft Idea For Summer Handprint Fish Puppets - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

This fun kids craft is perfect for a rainy afternoon. With just a few materials, you can easily create some one-of-a-kind handprint fish puppets. Get the kiddos involved and have a pretend “under the sea” show!

Craft Supplies:

  • Scrapbook Paper or Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Rhinestones
  • School Glue
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Craft Scissors
  • Medium Sized Wiggle Eyes
  • Pencil or Pen

Directions:

  • First, you will want to trace out your child’s hand on the paper and trim out the design with scissors.
  • Repeat for how many handprint fish you want to create today.
  • Next is the customization part of the Handprint Fish Puppets. First, I cut some heart-shaped lips out of orange colored cardstock and glued them near the palms of our handprint cutouts. Then I glued on some wiggle eyes, so our fish could see.
  • At this point in time you can also add on the sequins, rhinestones, glitter etc to really customize your fish puppets!
  • Once you are done with your customization, set all of your handprint fish puppets aside and let them dry before the final step.
  • To finish off our Handprint Fish Puppets, I simply glued some popsicle sticks to the back of our cutouts and again, set them aside to let them dry completely.

Once the paper handprint fishes are completely dry — kids can get straight to using them in their puppet show and/or any other creative adventures they might have in mind.

You can also skip the popsicle sticks all together and create these fish for summer and/or beach decorations. The possibilities are endless and I sure hope it inspired you!

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!
