Handprint Hermit Crab Craft Idea

Our “Handprint Hermit Crab” tutorial is a perfect summer project for kids. All you need is some cardstock paper, googly eyes, and a bit of imagination!

To recreate this art project, all you need to do is print out the provided “small seashell” file on cardstock paper. If desired, have kids color in ONE of the seashell designs. Then, when they are done, help them trim it out. Now grab a sheet of blue AND tan cardstock paper.

Help them tear the tan paper to make the “sand” in the craft. Glue it to the blue sheet.

Next up – grab a sheet of red cardstock paper and a pencil. Trace your child’s hand {left or right} on the paper. Now trim out the traced design. Glue it, along with the shell cutout, to the center of the beach design. Finally, draw on antennas and some googly eyes to complete the look of a hermit crab. For added fun, add a few squiggles of glitter glue to the shell and add some summer themed stickers around as well.

And that’s it! It’s honestly doesn’t get any easier than this! This handprint hermit crab keepsake craft can happen within minutes and I sure hope you & your little one give it a try this summer season!

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!
