How to use the template
Download and print the template below; it will fill a single page. If you don’t see it in your email within 5 minutes, check your spam folder.
While regular printer paper works, cardstock is recommended to give the artwork a sturdier, more polished look.
Let the kids choose their favorite color for their handprint—green works wonderfully for a tree!
Use a small paintbrush to add a thin, even layer of washable paint to their hands. Keep wipes nearby for a quick cleanup!
Place their hand on the paper with fingers pointing up, just above the tree trunk, and press down firmly to ensure a full handprint.
Gently lift their hand to prevent smudges, then let the paint dry completely.
Once dry, color in the letter T and the tree trunk for a finished look!
