    A framed craft featuring a handprint shaped like a blue bee alongside cheerful flowers, with the text "Thank You for BEE-ing a great teacher," set against a pink backdrop and accompanied by a watering can filled with flowers.

    How to make handprint art

    Here's how to use your printable art templates:

    1. Download your printable craft pages. Look for the row of purple arrows pointing the way.

    2. Print the page you want on heavy duty paper or card stock.

    3. Practice with a dry (not painted) hand to see where your child wants to place their hand on the page. Reference images are included in your PDF for inspiration.

    4. Make sure your child is wearing old clothes or a protective apron/smock.

    5. Paint your child's hand with nontoxic paint and have them carefully, firmly, press their hand (or foot) straight down on the page, then lift their hand straight up.

    A child's hand with yellow paint is shown next to a colorful card that says "Thank you!" and features a sun made from a handprint and flowers, representing a teacher appreciation craft.

    6. Once the paint is dry, you can use pens or markers to add embellishments

    7. Clean up. =)
