Our latest and greatest Paper Handprint “You Are The Real MVP” Keepsake Printable is the perfect excuse to pull out the craft supplies today and make an awesome football themed craft with your child.

I could see this #1 fan idea being used for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher Appreciation, Grandparent’s Day and so much more! Pretty much ANYONE who makes an impact in your child’s life, would love to “receive” this!

In this football themed post, I’ve included a printable template {made with awesome graphics from dailyarthub.com – a huge thank you to them!} to get you started with ease.

Once the free file is downloaded, all you need to do is print it, grab some colored paper and have your child add their handprint to complete the “foam finger” themed craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

So what are you waiting for? Grab the freebie file below and get to work on making a one-of-a-kind handprint piece with your child today! Then gift it to someone special or place your child’s finished piece in a scrapbook to enjoy for years to come. Whatever you do with it – I hope you enjoy making it with your child!

Handprint MVP Keepsake Craft

Need a special, one-of-a-kind Father’s Day gift? Make your favorite MVP an unforgettable keepsake with this handprint craft! Follow our easy tutorial to create a personalized piece dad will treasure for a lifetime!

Craft Supplies:

  • MVP Printable {on our landing page}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Colored Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue Stick
  • Pencil/Marker
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  1. First grab the MVP themed printable that is listed above in the supply list.
  2. Print it out in color on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need one print per keepsake craft. Please feel free to print as many as you like but only for personal use 🙂
  3. Next, grab your double sided scrapbook paper, a pencil and scissors.
  4. Trace your child’s hand on the paper.
  5. Trim out the traced handprint with scissors.
  6. Carefully start folding down the fingers in the paper piece you just made {except the pointer} to make the handprint look like it’s respecting a foam finger or saying “#1.” Please see our image for an example.
  7. Once that is done, grab another piece of white cardstock {a small scrap piece is PERFECT!}
  8. Cut out a small circle and write “#1 FAN” in the center.
  9. Go ahead and open up your folded handprint & secure the circle inside of it, with some glue.
  10. FINALLY, glue your finished handprint piece in the center of the “goal” in the printable.
  11. Then grab your writing utensil and have children write their name in the spot under “You Are The Real MVP.”
  12. Once done, add other embellishments to give your handprint MVP piece a personalized look.
  13. Then display/gift proudly!
