Hi friends! With Father’s Day just around the corner, I figured I would share a SIMPLE kid craft idea that can be easily framed and turned into a gift on the fly. This Handprint Daddy’s Grilling Partner Keepsake w/free printable template 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 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 craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!
So what’s cooking good looking?! Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable grill master keepsake. 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!
Supplies:
* Free Template Printable {Download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Paint {pick a theme, a favorite color – whatever your heart desires!}
* Paper Plate
* Paint Brush
* Baby Wipes
Directions:
* First download and print the free template printable on white cardstock.
* Squirt some paint on a paper plate.
* Paint one of your child’s hands and press it on the printable, next to the grill to create flames. Repeat if desired.
* Add other embellishments you see fit. Then display/gift proudly!

Hi. I wasnt able to download the adorable Grilling Partner template. Could you email it to me? Thanks so much! Stefanie
Stacey says
When you click on the download link, you should be able to right-click on the grill image that comes up and save from there. – Stacey
Brett says
Stefanie, were you able to get it to work? Every time I print it’s either huge and wants to print on several pages or super small. I’m wondering how to get it centered or at least fit to a piece of card stock.
Stacey, are you able to email this? The sizing is off and I’ve tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?
Stacey says
Have you tried adjusting your printing sections? You should be able to choose what size you want to print the file when you hit print. Fit to one page should also be a printing setting option.
Melanie says
Do you have a template for Grandpa’s Grilling Partner?
Stacey says
I don’t right now but making a quick note to make one for in the near future. Thanks for the idea!
Annie says
Do you have a template that could say pop’s grilling partners ? I would buy one from you
Stacey says
I don’t right now but making a quick note to make one for in the near future. Thanks for the idea!
Lauren says
This is a wonderful download that I’m using your template for a Grandad and PaPa for father’s day. Thanks so much!
Cindy says
thank you! We are using this for our Donuts for Dad invitation at our church preschool as our present for the Dads is a BBQ rub. Adjusting the size a little bit, but it is GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing!
