Handprint Boat Keepsake Supplies:

* Large Canvas
* Various Colors of Paint {primarily brown}
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Wipes
optional – scrapbook stickers/glitter/rhinestones etc.

Directions:

Between each step – be sure to let the paint dry completely so colors don’t bleed
* First paint one of your child’s hands completely brown and press it down on the canvas. This will be the body of the boat. Remove remaining paint from your child’s hand with a baby wipe.
* Next paint on the embellishments to turn the handprint into a boat. Think sails, windows etc.
* To finish off the Handprint Boat Canvas – simply paint on ocean embellishments around the canvas. Also add other embellishments you see fit {like scrapbook stickers, glitter etc} Then display proudly or gift away!
