Handprint Hot Air Balloon Keepsake
With Dr. Seuss’ birthday just around the corner {March 2nd} I decided to come up with a “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” keepsake printable to mark the special occasion!
Everyone knows the iconic story “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” so I decided to pair this book with a SIMPLE DIY idea that can be easily framed and used to celebrate the upcoming birthday {and all those events most schools put on to mark this yearly occasion!}
This Handprint Air Balloon Keepsake Idea w/free printable template is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too! You can also add materials to reflect personality and style, while still keeping the price on the cheap! We are talking CENTS to pull this Dr Seuss-themed craft together today!
If you have a color printer in your home – you are well on your way to making this DIY come to life and creating a great one-of-a-kind keepsake that anyone can treasure for years to come {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}
In this post, I’ve included a FREE hot air balloon printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some craft 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 what are you waiting for? Download the hot air balloon file below and get to work on creating this adorable Handprint Dr Seuss DIY. Then place in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook for the lucky receiver to enjoy year, after year!
