Who doesn’t love receiving a handprint artwork made by the special little ones in your life? I definitely do! I also love creating these fun printables so you can make a beautiful artwork together with your child.

Why do I love handprint art? First of all, they are extremely easy to make and even babies can participate. In fact, your child’s contribution to the artwork (adding their hand print) is probably the most important part of the entire piece.

I just LOVE that the child’s participation is absolutely crucial to the completion of the card.

On top of that, these adorable cards are super meaningful and special to the ones receiving them (cue oohs and aaahs).

Fall Handprint Art

This adorable Cutest Pumpkin Handprint Art can be made in 4 different ways:

• Foot prints on the side of the pumpkin, with child’s photo cut and pasted over pumpkin.
• Foot prints on the side of pumpkin. No photo.
• Hand prints on side of pumpkin with child’s photo.
• Hand prints on side of pumpkin, no photo.

Free Printable Fall Handprint Art

This simple printable comes with a pumpkin graphic with two leaves at the center. Right above the pumpkin is the text “The Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch”.

To the right of the printable, just below the pumpkin, is the text “Love From,” so you or your child can sign their name next to it.

Without your child’s handprints, the art piece itself will look super super empty and boring!

This The Cutest Pumpkin Printable Craft comes in PDF format so you can easily download and print.

Also, don’t forget to write the year on the back of the printable so you can remember how old the child is when looking back.

Easy Fall Handprint Craft For Kids

To make this simple Fall Handprint Craft, you will need the following supplies:

• THE CUTEST PUMPKIN PRINTABLE – Link at bottom of Post
• CHILD’S PHOTO, if using
• WHITE CARD STOCK
• NON-TOXIC PAINT – I love this set of crayola paints because it also comes with glitter paint.
• DISPOSABLE PLATE or PAINT PAD
• FOAM PAINT BRUSH or REGULAR PAINT BRUSH – I used a piece of small foam
• DISPOSABLE TABLECLOTH – or anything to protect your work surface.
• GLUE STICK (not pictured) – if you want to include a photo of your child.

How to Make SIMPLE THANKSGIVING Hand print Craft

1. First, print out THE CUTEST PUMPKIN PRINTABLE (Link at bottom of post) on white card stock. Using cardstock adds durability if you are not planning to frame or laminate.
2. Second, pour out non-toxic washable paint on a paper plate. I recommend using fall colors such as red, orange, or gold as it goes nicely with the pumpkin. However, if your child has a different favorite color they would rather use, feel free to use another color. It is after all, their artwork!
3. Next, use a foam brush to evenly paint both of child’s hand (or feet).
4. Then, help the child make their hand prints (or foot prints), one on either side of the pumpkin.
5. Allow hand print to dry.
6. Cut out a photo of the child (if using). Feel free to cut it out in any shape you’d like!
7. Glue child’s photo over the pumpkin and allow to dry.
8. Sign child’s name (or have the child sign their name if they can), and you are finished!
