Handprint Easter Chicks

We always use non-toxic tempera paint for handprint crafts and have a big bowl of soapy water, clean rags, and baby wipes at the ready to help wash the paint off after stamping.

How to Make Handprint Chicks

1. Stamp the handprint.

Apply yellow non-toxic tempera paint onto your child’s palm.

Remove their hand and apply another layer of paint onto their hand to create additional handprints. Set aside to dry completely and wash the paint off of your child’s hand with warm soapy water.

2. Cut out the feet and beak.

Draw your own feet on construction paper or orange cardstock and cut it out. You can also paint the feet on with orange paint. For the beak, fold over a piece of orange paper and draw a triangle and then cut it out.

To give the chick rosy cheeks, dip the end of a paintbrush or pencil into pink paint, and stamp a circle on either side of the chick’s beak. Allow the paint to dry completely.
