Just grab the provided space themed freebie file below, print it out in the comfort of your home and add your child’s handprint {or baby footprint} to complete the body of the astronaut.

To The Moon & Back - Handprint Astronaut Keepsake

Tell someone that you LOVE THEM TO THE MOON AND BACK! You won’t believe how simple it is to make this Handprint Astronaut Keepsake!

Craft Supplies:

  • Astronaut Printable
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Washable Gray Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Baby Wipes
  • Crayons, Markers, Coloring Pencils

Directions:

  • First grab the provided “to the moon and back” printable, listed above in the supply list.
  • Print it in color on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need one print per keepsake craft.
  • Next up grab your gray craft paint, paint brush and paper plate.
  • Squirt some paint on the paper plate.
  • Pick a hand and tell your child to keep their fingers flat but together tightly.
  • Paint your child’s hand completely gray and press it under the astronaut’s helmet in the printable. You will want the fingertips to go outward from the helmet, to create the body.
  • Use the baby wipes to remove excess paint from their hand and send them to the sink for a quick wash.
  • Set aside the printable to let the paint dry completely.
  • Now the fun part! Grab crayons and/or markers & have your child color in the small space themed sections in the printable. Just like a coloring page – go to town!
  • Finally, add other embellishments you see fit {like some gold star stickers} as well as having children sign their name in the blank spot, towards the top of the print.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

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!
