A quick handprint craft with my grandsons this week - using cricut to cut out the body, which the 3 year old happily glued together. The svg has cut out eyes - but if you have been following me for any length of time, you know that said 3 year old always insists on adding googly eyes. :-)
The size to make these will vary based on the age of the child/size of their handprint.
I made this one 6x6 - and it was a little larger than needed, but not by much, for my 3 year old grandson. We added his baby brother (4 month old) handprint, and it looks tiny on there, if I were making it for the baby alone, I'd have made this much smaller.
You could glue this onto a plain piece of cardstock, and add text on the bottom - or make it a card. We chose to make magnets, because they are my grandson's favorite. Well, his second favorite - his FIRST favorite is googly eyes. Note that we added googly eyes to all of ours too. :-)
To make this a magnet, I cut out 6 inch circles (with cricut) and we allowed the butterfly body to "overflow" off the circle, where we added the handprints.
