Handprint Mermaid Hair Craft Idea

This is a great project that helps nurture creativity while offering some mom-approved quality time with your child.

To complete this handprint mermaid hair craft, the first thing you need to do is print out the provided “free printable” on white cardstock paper. You need ONE print out per mermaid craft.

Next up, have children use crayons to color in the mermaid design. At this point in time, they should add on the bra {heart stickers} and googly eyes so she can see.

When they are done coloring, use scissors to trim out the mermaid outline from the paper.

Set aside the decorated mermaid cutout for now and discard excess paper.

Now use a pencil to trace both of your child’s hands, on a piece of red cardstock paper. Use scissors to trim out the “handprint hair” from the cardstock paper.

Finally, using a glue stick, secure the mermaid AND handprint cutouts to a blue piece of cardstock paper for the ocean. And that’s it! You now have a beautiful and sentimental piece to gift away!

At this point in time you can also add any other embellishments you see fit to really customize your child’s mermaid handprint craft {like some small fish stickers!}

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!
