Handprint Towel

This is a creative way to reflect the hand prints of the entire family.

Supplies Needed:

Hand towels
Fabric paint (in your choice of colors)
Disposable plate

Instructions for the project: Put the fabric paint in a disposable plate and smear the paint around. Depending on how many children’s hand prints you want to get onto one towel, fold the towel like you would to hang it up or in half so that you have plenty of room to put the hand prints and still be able to see them once you hang the hand towel up on the towel rod. Take the child’s hand and smear it and press it down into the paint. Place the child’s hand over the hand towel and press hard making sure to press the palm area down and each finger individually. Lift the child’s hand straight up making sure not to smear the paint around. If you need to, you can touch up the hand print using the tip of the paint bottle to fill in empty spaces or spaces that are faint. For an added touch consider writing each child’s name next to the hand print and date the top of the towel. It is important to be aware that it takes 24 hours for the paint to dry completely and then the towel can be washed 72 hours later.
