Craft Supplies:

Free Clover Printable
White Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Washable Green Craft Paint
Large Foam Paint Brush
Small Paper Plate
Baby Wipes
Green Marker
optional materials – shamrock & clover stickers

Directions:

First things first – print out the CUTEST CLOVER keepsake printable, that is listed above in the supply list. You need one print per keepsake craft you want to make today.
Next up – grab that washable green craft paint, as well as your foam paint brush and paper plate.
Squirt a good amount of craft paint on the paper plate.
Next – pick one of your child’s hands {left or right – doesn’t matter for this craft!}
Paint the palm and fingers of your child’s hand completely.
Working quickly, press it down in the center of the printable. Be sure to wiggle each finger as well!
Now carefully lift up your child’s hand from the printable and clean off the excess paint from their hand, with a baby wipe & a quick trip to the sink.
When the handprint is dry enough on the paper, start embellishing it. Start off by using the green marker to give the handprint a stem and make it look like a “shamrock.” I also decided to add some more shamrock stickers around the handprint design as well.
When you are done decorating the piece of paper, go ahead and display/gift away proudly your child’s beautiful handprint CLOVER keepsake piece!
