Cute Handprint Earth Craft (with modifications)

Happy Earth Day! There's a really fun and easy craft that's just perfect for a day on which we celebrate our planet and all that you need is some paper plates, some blue and green paint, and glitter and glue (though they are optional). You've seen the picture. You can check out the details and then hop on below and I'll give you a tip that might help your kiddo.


MODIFICATIONS: How many of you have a little one who is not a fan of having his hands painted? Sometimes, to help with this we go ahead and give the kiddo a pair of gloves to wear while working with the paint. Let's try something different this time. Once that blue paint is dry, have your child place his hands onto the plate, in the appropriate spots, and then trace them. Make sure that the outlines are very distinct. You can even go over what you have traced with black, or even green, permanent marker so that it stands out even more. From here, have your little one grab his paintbrush and, very carefully, paint in his handprints. Super cute!
