Handprint Project Materials

For this project, you just need a few materials.

  • paint
  • paper
  • paintbrushes
  • cups for paint

I recommend using Lakeshore’s Washable Liquid Tempera Paint! It is the best paint for handprint projects! It is high-quality, washable, and comes off of hands and clothing easily!

I also love the No-Spill Paint Cups. The set from Lakeshore comes with 10 no-spill cups with lids.

These are a must-have when doing crafts with kids!

Seriously, these are a lifesaver when it comes to painting. No more worries about spilling paint!

The Nylon-Bristle Paintbrushes are amazing! The bristles are so soft and they make the paint glide on paper. My kids really love these paintbrushes and have been using them a lot since we got them! They even coordinate with the No-Spill Paint Cups!

You will not be disappointed with Lakeshore Learning’s products. They are simply the best!

Joy Handprint Project Tutorial

If you’d like to make the joy handprint craft, just follow these simple steps!

1. Print the joy printable here. There are several designs to choose from!

If you don’t have a printer you can use Lakeshore’s white tagboard or card stock paper and write the letters ‘J’ and ‘Y’ on the paper. Make sure to leave space in the middle of the paper for the handprint.

2. Paint your child’s hand with green paint.

3. Stamp their hand in the middle of the paper.

After the green paint has dried, you can paint a star at the top of the handprint “tree.”

Then paint on ornaments. I had my child dip their finger in the paint and stamp it around the handprint tree. Lastly paint a brown tree trunk.
