Supplies Needed
- Paints – Use whatever color paint you want! Any colors will work on the printable templates. Make sure you use washable paint that is non-toxic and kid-safe.
- Paper plate or paint brush – For an extra mess-free method of handprint painting, use a paint brush to coat your child’s hand in acrylic paint. Pour the paint onto a disposable paper plate so it’s easy to get either dip the paintbrush in or simply place your child’s hand into the paint.
- Printer – You’ll will need a way to print these Father’s Day handprint printables. If you do not have a printer at home then be sure to check with your local library or office supply store to see what kind of printing services they offer.
- White card stock or white copy paper – If you want each page to hold up well to paint, then I recommend printing them out on white cardstock. You can use white copy paper too, but keep in mind that if you use too much paint it can make the paper weak and after it dries it could be bubbled up.
