6. Spooky Spider Handprint Keepsakes
Turn those chubby toddler hands into the cutest spiders you have ever seen. This handprint craft is a classic for a reason; it is sensory, highly interactive, and results in a beautiful piece of art that you will want to save forever. By overlapping the palms, you create a plump spider body with wiggly finger legs spreading out on either side.
Paint your toddler’s palm and four fingers (excluding the thumb) with black washable paint. Press their hand down on a sheet of bright orange or green paper. Paint the hand again and press it down overlapping the first palm print, but with the fingers pointing in the opposite direction. This creates a spider with eight legs and no thumb-legs. Add a cluster of multi-sized googly eyes to the center to give your spider a goofy, friendly personality.
