What better way for little ones to show their love for family and friends this Valentine’s Day than some cute handprint art for toddlers?
Handprint crafts may be a little testing but are totally worth the blood, sweat and tears. Or should I say paint, dirty clothes and tears…
No really, they are worth i! Handprints add such a personal touch to any craft and make precious keepsakes too. There are plenty of toddler crafts I’ve made with my 4 little ones over the years that have had a few days or possible weeks on display. And then been swiftly dumped in the garbage. (Shhhh….)
But the handprint crafts will be treasured forever.
I hope you enjoy these toddler Valentines Day handprint art ideas. They’re too gorgeous for words! They’re also budget-friendly and use simple materials you probably already have at home.
Happy handprinting and happy Valentine’s!
