Handprint craft ideas are a great way to entertain kids in a short period of time AND the finished pieces can be easily turned into a gift within minutes. In a lot of cases, kids can make the handprint craft and then give the finished piece to someone special, right after.

When I first came up with our latest and greatest “Handprint Baby Chicks Riding In Truck” tutorial, I initially had my son in mind. If you are new around here, my son is a TRUCK fanatic! Monster trucks, Chevy trucks, Toyota trucks – you name it, that kid is ALL OVER IT!

And since my readers loved my Paper Valentine Truck post that went live this past Valentine’s Day holiday, I knew I had to step up my game and share something for SPRING as well. Hence how today’s post was born!

With the free truck printables I’ve included in today’s post, it’s just a matter of downloading, printing and then cutting out some pieces to pull it together. Your child can even customize their spring themed trucks with various small Easter themed embellishments to really make it their own.

Then when they are done, they can either display their newly made handprint chicks as is OR slide the finished truck piece in a simple photo frame to gift to someone special.

Find all the details and free files below. Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us as well! You can find us on Instagram for easy tagging! I can’t wait to hear from you! #gluedtomycrafts

  • Pick a hand and trace it on the yellow cardstock.
  • Use scissors to trim out the handprint you just made.
  • Follow that up by drawing some eyes and a beak on EACH finger of the handprint, with the Sharpie markers.
  • When done with the above steps, glue {or staple} your decorated baby chick handprint to the bed of your paper truck cutout.
  • At this point in time you can add a jumbo popsicle stick if you choose to turn it into a puppet today.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit to make it your own {like those Easter egg stickers in the bed of the truck!}

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
