Unique Hand Print Wrapping Paper!

It’s been a few days since I have published a blog post, but not to worry everything is just fine. I guess time flies by when your having fun. Now, it’s time for another fun kid friendly craft. If you already noticed in our previous craft post, we had made some wonderful colorful hand prints on a pillowcase. Sophia had so much fun that she wanted to do it again. But instead of making them on a pillowcase, we made  it on a large roll of paper. Now, let’s begin our fun Hand Print Wrapping Paper craft.

Supplies:

• Paint
• Roll of Paper
• Tape or tacks
• Lids or plastic plates
• Newspaper
• Bowl
• Towel
• Gifts

First, you need to find an area you want to do your finger painting project. Since this is quite messy, I would suggest that this be an outdoor project. We decided to do it all in the garage. With the help of Sophia, we taped a large piece of paper against the wall. We ended up with 2 rows, which was the perfect height and length for her to do all of her finger painting.

Now, start by laying on the floor some newspaper, so it won’t spill on the concrete. Even if some does spill, you can easily wash it off. Now reach for your plastic plates, or in my case I used lids from my plastic boxes, which turned out really well, and place them in a row. Get all of your paint colors ready, and pour them on the lids. Sophia really enjoyed this part, and had the biggest smile on her face.

Now that we have everything in place, Sophia was ready to start her finger painting project. She literally splashed her hands in the paint color and started to rub her hands together. Then, she started to press her hand prints all over the paper wall. Wow, what a fantastic hand print it was, and her smile was as huge as her hand print.

She continued to the same process with all the remaining colors, washing and drying her hands in between colors. The same process was done with her foot prints. It all screamed fun, fun, fun!

After we were done, it was time to let everything dry and to clean up all that mess. LOL. Sophia was a nice helper and helped wash off all the lids, and setting them outside to dry in the sun. Now after everything had dried, we took off the paper from the wall and then wrapped our gift. This will be the perfect wrapping paper for a birthday party. Not only did Sophia have fun finger painting but she also designed her very own wrapping paper. Isn’t that wonderful!

Now, have fun and make your own unique Hand Print Wrapping Paper for any special event your children may be attending. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
