Handprint Campfire Craft
I don’t know about you, but I’m already dreaming of fall. Cozy sweaters, hot chocolate, and a cool night by a campfire under the stars. At least you can get one of those anytime now with this adorable Handprint Campfire Craft.
Our campfire craft is not only a cute fall kids craft, but it’s a sweet keepsake for the season, too, using handprints to make the flames of the fire. Not just for fall, though, you could also use this craft as a fun camping craft. The rest of the craft is super easy to create. A few details with markers then finish with sparkling metallic marker stars. This is such a great craft for kids of all ages.
Fall Campfire Handprint Craft

Handprint Campfire Craft Supplies Needed

Campfire Camping Craft Step by Step Directions
Start by tracing your little one’s handprint on red and orange cardstock..
You will need 4 handprints total, 2 in each color for each campfire craft.
Cut out the handprints.
Next, cut two strips from brown cardstock.
Use a brown marker to draw bark and age lines on the strips to give it the appearance of wood.
Glue the strips towards the bottom of a sheet of black cardstock, in a wide X pattern.
Now, glue the 4 handprints on the wood, one layered over the other.
Finally, use a metallic marker to draw a starry sky over the campfire. We drew the tiniest star shapes, then also made simple dots with the metallic marker to look like stars that were further in the distance.
Get out the marshmallows and hot dogs! This campfire craft is such a fun way to get excited for those cool, fall nights. It’s also a great camping craft, too.
