Handprint art Valentine’s Day cards are my FAVORITE! Something about seeing that tiny handprint makes me fall even more in love! Here are my favorite handprint art designs that you should try with your toddler this Valentine’s Day!
Handprint Art Valentine’s Day
1 SUPER Valentine
How cute is this!? It would also be a cute card for mom/dad that read “mom/dad you’re SUPER!”
How to:
1 Paint your toddler’s hand blue and press onto paper
2 After it has dried, use a red sharpie to draw a cape and a SUPER VALENTINE emblem!
3 Add your “SUPER” phrase!
2 BEE Mine
Bzzzz….an un-BEE-lievably cute Valentine heading your way!
How to:
1 Paint your toddler’s hand yellow and press onto paper
2 After it has dried, use a black sharpie to draw stripes, a face, and wings!
3 Add your “BEE Mine!”
3 God has you in the PALM of his hand!
This is the perfect Valentine to share God’s love with a friend! I also think it would be a cute Valentine from a daddy’s girl saying “Daddy, you’ve got my heart in the palm of your hand!”
How to:
1 Paint your toddler’s hand pink with a heart in red in their palm and press onto paper
2 After it has dried, use a red sharpie to outline the heart (ours didn’t come out crisp so the sharpie really helped define what it was!)
3 Add your phrase or Bible verse!
4 Love Bug
Such a cute and spring-y valentine! Definitely a must try!
How to:
1 Paint your toddler’s hand red and press onto paper
2 After it has dried, use a black sharpie to draw dots and a face (Don’t forget to leave holes for the eyes!)
3 Add your “Love Bug” phrase!

My favorite supplies for Handprint Art:
I love this washable paint for handprint art and for toddler painting in general. It cleans up SOOOO easily (even off the walls…don’t ask me how I know!)
These are my favorite paintbrushes for handprint art and toddler painting. The different sizes and shapes tend to fit all that we need! The dollar tree has also had some good chunky paint brushes in the past that are perfect for toddlers!
We use these art smocks. I LOVE them. They keep their clothes covered and clean and they’re super easy to clean as well! I’ve seen similar ones on Amazon as well if you need quick shipping! This one is a similar style and fairly cheap!
Tips for How to Handprint Art:
1 Have wipes ready before you start! They’re perfect for wiping hands, spills, and the paintbrush in between colors!
2 Young Toddler? Put them in their highchair while you work!
3 Ask your toddler to spread their fingers before you press to the paper.
4 Hold your toddler’s hand on the sides similar to how you would hold a stamp. Lift their hand straight up after you’ve pressed!
