Handprint My Future Looks Bright Keepsake

It’s easy, fun, and with just a few simple materials you can create a lasting memory of the bright future your little ones have ahead of them. This keepsake craft project isn’t just fun – it’s easy too!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – you are going to need to print out the provided lightbulb printable. You will need one print per keepsake craft.
  • Now grab your washable yellow craft paint and paper plate.
  • Squirt a small amount on the paper plate. 
  • Next pick a hand. Any hand will do. Paint the palm and the fingers of your child’s hand completely yellow and press it on the printable, right in the center of the lightbulb design. 
  • Now carefully lift up their hand to reveal the handprint design. Use baby wipes to clean off excess paint from their hand. 
  • If desired and while the paint is still wet, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the handprint design for a little extra sparkle.
  • Once done decorating the my future looks bright keepsake, set it aside to let it dry completely.

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!
