Forever june design

Celebrate April Fool’s Day with a creative gift for the special people in your students' lives! My "April Fool’s Day Handprint Art" is a fun and easy activity that allows children to create a super cute keepsake for their families. This print features a jokester hat that is missing a head. The best part? Kids can proudly display their painted handprints as the missing head/face. This April Fools Day Printable reads "Happy April Fool’s Day, From Your Little Jokester." Students can add their names in the blank space.

This DIY colouring activity is black and white, so your child or students can personalize them with their coloring skills and handprints in their favourite colors. This activity is an excellent way for students to provide silly, but cute art to the people they love. And because it doesn't mention a specific person, it can also be used for any family member or special friend.

My DIY April Fool’s Day Handprint Art is appropriate for kids of various ages- Perfect as DIY Arts and Crafts for toddlers, as a custom April Fool’s Day gift from Daycare and Early Childhood Education (ECE) child care settings, as last minute take home April Fool’s Day Cards from preschool and Nursery School Programs, as a Handprint Craft for Homeschool or Special Education Classrooms, as a fun Spring Activity for Pre-K & Kindergarten Students or as a personalized keepsake for Grade 1-6 teachers to share with their students!

I supply the design and you supply the little artist!

It can be completed in just a few easy steps. Simply paint your child's hand, press their tiny hands onto the paper to create the handprint face, and then let them colour the rest of the printable in their favourite colours! They will be so excited to bring this sweet gift home to their family!

Once complete, this print can be framed or hung up as a unique and special addition to any home. Get yours now and give your child or students the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind gift for the important people in their life! It's as easy as 1-2-3, just Order-Download-Print!
