What’s Included

2 PDF & PNG files with Yellow and Red BLANK Hearts

Handprint Space: 5"x5" area for tiny hands (or First Day Footprint Art)

Editable Canva Link

Print as letter size (8.5 x 11 inch)

Implementation Format

We highly recommend printing this template on thick white cardstock so the wet paint does not warp or wrinkle the paper as it dries .

For the best results, use a sponge or foam brush to apply a thin even layer of washable non toxic tempera paint directly to the child's palm and fingers .

Help the child press their hand straight down onto the paper and lift straight up so the fingers don't slide and smudge. Keep a pack of baby wipes nearby for an immediate and easy cleanup before they return to play !
