Directions:

- Next pick a hand – any hand!
- Paint the your child’s hand completely blue and press it in the center of a single sheet of white cardstock.
- Gently lift up their hand to reveal the handprint design underneath.
- Go ahead and clean off excess paint with a few baby wipes & a quick trip to the sink.
- Next grab your blue cardstock and scissors.
- Cut out a head shape for Pete.
- Now grab the remaining cardstock and cut out eyes and some blues for his feet.
- To finish off the Handprint Keepsake – glue down all your cardstock pieces in place, draw on a nose and add any other embellishments you see fit.
- I also drew on some whiskers with a black Sharpie marker.
- When done – display proudly and snap a few pictures to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts
