Handprint Birthday Card


We wanted to make a special card for Sophie's Granddaddy's birthday. When I saw this adorable handprint birthday card craft at Meet the Dubiens I knew it would be a keepsake he would treasure. Here's what you'll need to make one yourself!

Supplies: 
cardstock
paint 
paintbrush
glue
glitter
Directions:
1. Paint the palm of your child's hand one color.
2. Paint each finger except for the thumb a different color.
3. Stamp your child's hand on the paper and let dry. (Warning: This is not easy with a 2 year old - Notice the swigly green finger!)
4. Make an icing design with the glue and sprinkle glitter on top. Let dry.
6. Paint candle flames with a paintbrush.


Granddaddy loved his card!


And Sophie loved showing him how she stamped her hand.
