Handprint This Year Flew By Kite Keepsake

Handprint The Year Flew By Kite Keepsake

Handprint Kite Keepsake

The end of the school year is rapidly coming upon us and today I’m sharing a SIMPLE kite themed kids craft idea that can be easily framed & turned into a quick gift for young children to give their parents, grandparents or even teachers on the last day of school.

This Handprint “The Year Flew By” keepsake is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home or classroom – you are well on your way to pulling this together and creating an awesome memorabilia piece to mark your child’s special accomplishments {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}

In this inspiration post, I’ve included a FREE gender-neutral printable template {with a very popular phrase and ready-to-decorate kites!} so all you need to do is print the file, grab some washable craft paint and have your children add their handprint to complete the kite themed craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it! It’s just a matter of letting your imagination soar and getting it done at home or in the classroom!

So on that note, don’t let this idea blow away! What are you waiting for? Let’s make those crafty juices SOAR! Just grab the FREE file below and get to work on creating this adorable Handprint End of the School Year Kite Keepsake. Then place it in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook for the lucky receiver. Whatever you do with it – I hope you enjoy making it with your child!

PAIR YOUR END OF SCHOOL YEAR CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Graduation Craft

Handprint The Year Flew By Kite Keepsake

Craft Supplies:

  • Year Flew By Printable {grab the FREE FILE on box.com}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer
  • Washable Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Large Paint Brush
  • Baby Wipes
  • Blue Marker or Crayon
  • optional materials – heart and small bow stickers

Directions:

  • First print out the free “this year flew by” template printable on white cardstock paper. You only need one print per craft.
  • Next up – squirt some craft paint on a paper plate.
  • Rub the paint brush in the paint.
  • Now pick a hand – any hand will do!
  • Paint the palm of your child’s hands completely and then press it down on the printable, right on top of the kite design. Then can spread their fingers or you can direct them to hold them together tightly.
  • Be sure to also wiggle each finger so the paint really transfers to the paper.
  • Now lift up their hand.
  • Use the baby wipes to clean off excess paint from their hand and send them to the sink as well.
  • As for the printable, set it aside to let it dry completely.
  • When ready, and if desired, you are going to add some embellishments to bring it to life. I placed a heart sticker and small bows on mine. I also use a crayon to add some clouds in the background, to really tie the theme together.
  • When you are done decorating, then it’s time to display and/or gift it away proudly on graduation day! #gluedtomycrafts
