Supplies Needed

- Paper plate or paint brush – Pour the paint onto a disposable paper plate as an easy way to dip your child’s hand into the paint. You could also use a paintbrush to evenly coat their hands in paint before pressing them down onto the cute little templates.
- Printer – You’ll will need a way to print these Mother’s Day handprint art printables. If you do not have a printer at home, then check with your local library or office supply store to see what kind of printing services they offer.
- White cardstock or white copy paper – To make these free printables a bit more sturdy, print them out on white cardstock. However, you can also use white copy paper. Just know that if you use too much paint it can make the paper weak.
