Handprint Clifford

Celebrate Clifford’s birthday with this fun and easy handprint Clifford craft.

Materials:

• white construction paper
• black marker

• red, black, and white paint

Instructions

1. Paint the palm of the child’s hand with red paint.
2. With the middle three fingers in a closed position and the pinky and thumb separate from them, make a handprint. Let dry.
3. Make thumbprint eyes using white paint. Let dry.
4. Dip your pointer finger in the black paint and make a fingerprint inside each of the white thumbprints for pupils. Let dry.
5. Draw on a nose, mouth, eyebrows, and hair.
6. Optional: cut around the handprint or use a black marker to outline around it.

Both projects can be made with kids of all ages.

Younger kids can make them with adult participation.

Ages three and up: a fun way to practice scissors skills and encourage imagination/foster creativity.

Older kids will enjoy making the more detailed version.

If “Clifford” is the child’s favorite show, it will make an adorable keepsake!
