6. Footprint Butterfly
Materials list:
- White card stock
- Paint colors of choice
- Markers
- Paintbrush
The cutest footprint butterfly!! Super simple and no getting baby’s hands in paint.
7. Footprint Hungry Little CATERPILLAR
Materials list:
- White card stock
- Paint (dark green, light green, yellow, red, and black)
- Paintbrush
LOVE this one! If your baby’s favorite book is The Hungry Little Caterpillar, you have to do this one. If you’re doing this with a baby, it’s probably easiest to do the footprints on their own pieces of paper, then cut them out and assemble once dry. It can be hard to line up little feet!
8. Hello Spring
Materials list:
- White card stock
- Paint (green + flower colors of choice)
- Markers
- Paintbrush
I actually just did this one with my son! Can’t wait to display it. I did his toes on one piece, and hands on another. Cutting out the hands and gluing them on instead of trying to get all the footprints and handprints on one sheet, just in case one gets messed up.
9. Handprint Frog
Materials list:
- Lily pad printable (on their site)
- White card stock
- Green paint
- Foam paint brush
- Sharpie
This little happy frog is just adorable! Display this in baby’s room so they always have something happy to look at.
10. Handprint Flowers
Materials list:
- Canvas(es) of your choice
- Paint (Green, yellow, brown, white, red, and a little blue acrylic paint.)
- Paint brushes
- Damp washcloth (for messes!)
- Dry washcloth/towel
- A hairdryer (or time–this is to get the paint to dry between layers)
This one is a bit more involved, but worth the time and effort. You could always do it on card stock if you’d rather!
11. Handprint Chick
Materials list:
- 12×12 sheet of scrapbook paper for the background
- Card stock or construction paper
- Yellow and orange paint
- Googly eyes

Another cute baby chick option for the spring!
