Handprint crafts on paper can result in innovative items like a paper mat. Stick your child’s photograph on the mat and imprint her handprints below the photograph.

You can spray a protective coating of glaze to prevent discoloration.

To make a reindeer, trace out the baby’s footprint with a boot on, to make the face of the reindeer. You can then trace out rest of the body. Make a number of handprints on brown felt paper and then fill it in to complete the reindeer’s body. You can add the horns and wobbly eyes for greater effect. Similarly, you can make Easter eggs or rabbits with baby handprints. Printing and painting baby handprint crafts on paper also keeps your child busy and teaches him to complete an assigned task.
