Back to School Handprint Box of Crayons Craft
To make our super cute handprint crayons craft you will need white and gold cardstock, markers in black, green, and other assorted colors, scissors, and a glue stick.
Handprint Crayons Craft Supplies Needed
- Cardstock – white, yellow/gold
- Markers – black, green, assorted colors
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Box of Crayons Handprint Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by tracing a handprint on white cardstock.
We traced our handprints in black marker.
Now, use markers in your choice of colors to color in each of the fingers.
Continue coloring each finger a different color until your box of crayons is complete.
Cut out the handprint.
Next, cut a rectangle from yellow/gold cardstock to fit the handprint. We cut a very slight scoop, or a long U, out of the top of the rectangle.
Use the green marker to draw lines at the bottom corners of the rectangle, mimicking a crayon box. Also, write “Crayons” in the center of the rectangle. You could write your name, instead.
Finally, glue the handprint to the top, back of the crayon box. Make sure all the fingers are peeking over the top of the box so you can see a complete, colorful box of crayons.
The sweetest box of crayons ever and such a great keepsake craft.
