Hand Print Crafts for Father’s Day

May 24, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Cards and crafts involving hand prints and footprints are classic for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and they give us a chance to look back through the years and see how much our kids have grown.

They’re also really easy projects to make for Father’s Day, and a great way to do a craft in a classroom without it taking too much time (though cleaning all those little hands and feet is definitely a process). Here are some cute hand and footprint crafts for Father’s Day for you to make with one kid or a bunch.

If you want hand prints without the paint, this handprint Father’s Day grill card from Our Kid Things is a good option. Just grab their template to help you make the pieces of the grill, trace and cut out hands, write a grill pun in the card and you’re all set.

Give dad a high five for all the great work he does with this simple card from Pepper Scraps. Just print, paint and stamp the hand, or trace and color in the hand, and you’re all set.

Crafty Morning is the queen of cute handprint projects. She’s got one where kids use their hands to add spikes to a dinosaur and a super cute pirate that’s shown done with a hand but you could probably do it with a footprint, too, if you’d rather.

And if you need more ideas, check out these cute printables from Mr. Mintz Crafts, which just need to be printed out and have a hand or foot print added to make them reading for giving. These are products that are for sale but definitely worth it for the quick and cute factor. The I love you to the moon and back one is my favorite, but they’re all really cute.
