HEART HANDPRINT VALENTINE
Those little hands won’t be little forever. Make a memorable keepsake Valentine for Mommy, Daddy, Grandma/Nana or Grandpa/Papa to cherish! Only a few supplies needed to complete. They’ll love it!
Materials
- Heart Template
- white cardstock
- tempera paint
- paper plate
- large paint brush
- marker/crayon
Process:
1.). Choose which version of the template you want (Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Nana, Grandpa, Papa). Names on first line in poem.
Print out the template on white cardstock
2.) Put tempera paint on a paper plate. With a brush evenly spread it out.
3.) Take one of your child’s hands and cover it with paint using a brush. Or they can place hand directly in paint, just make sure the entire hand is covered. You can always touch up areas missed with a brush.
Once hand is completely covered in paint, tilt their hand and place inside half of heart. Press down firmly on top of their hand.
4.) Repeat #3, but with other hand.
5.) After dry, have your child sign their name on the bottom left side. If too young, an adult can sign their name. Place date on opposite side.
Notes:
- If shipping, place inside an envelope, try not to bend it.
- If wanting to add more- add a photo of your child along with it and some chocolate hearts.
- As long as the paint isn’t applied too thick , you could also laminate before giving.
- Use construction paper behind it as a frame. Chid can color on the back side of it- then artwork on front & back.
