Handprint Turtle Keepsake

Today’s Turtle Themed Keepsake Printable is the perfect excuse to get messy with the kids AND make an adorable crafty turtle piece for family members {and yourself} to enjoy for years to come. I could see this idea being bookmarked for summer, Valentine’s Day, Mother/Father’s Day and so much more!

In this post, I’ve included a gender-neutral “water themed” printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some green craft paint and have your children add their handprint to complete the “turtle” art project idea. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

So what are you waiting for? Don’t be slow like a turtle! Go ahead and check out the link below for the free printable & then get to work on making a one-of-a-kind handprint piece with your child today. Be sure to place the finished piece in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook to enjoy for years to come.

On that note, I really do hope you enjoy making it with your child this afternoon!
