What is the best paint for handprints?

We have used many different paints over the years but our favorite paint for kid’s handprints is Crayola (these Colorations are a close second.)

There are a few other supplies you will need to create wonderful keepsakes:

• cardstock (or if you want to print it on colored paper we love this colorful cardstock)
• paintbrush
• glitter glue pens
• coloring pens or crayons
• googly wiggle eyes (optional)
• Wipes!! It helps to have these handy so you don’t make a complete mess of your table!
