Sailboat Handprint Keepsake Craft
With Father’s Day less than a few weeks away, 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 Sailboat 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 handprint to complete the craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!
So let’s SAIL away together! Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable paper sailboat 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! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished handprint & paper sailboat keepsake with us on our Facebook page to admire this summer! #gluedtomycrafts
