I “RUFF” You Keepsake Craft Materials:

* Free Handprint Dog Template Printable {Download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Craft Paint {a shade of dark brown}
* Small Paper Plate
* Foam Paint Brush
* Baby Wipes

Directions:

* First download and print the free dog template printable {in color} on some plain white cardstock. You will need ONE printable per craft.
* Squirt some brown craft paint on a paper plate.
* Ask your child to pick which hand they will use for the DIY. My suggestion is to lay the hand on the printable {unpainted} and decide before adding paint.
* Now paint your child’s hand completely with the craft paint & press in the center of the printable to make the BODY OF THE DOG.
* Clean off excess paint from the hand with baby wipes and finally with soap & water at the sink.
* Set aside your keepsake to let it dry completely.
* If desired, add other embellishments you see fit to your Dog Themed Keepsake piece.
* Then display/gift proudly!
