Fun Craft for the Whole Family

I had recently seen on Pinterest.com a fun painting/art piece. It was a handprint of each of the user's children in a frame on the wall with their names. Having only one child, I thought how can we do this project in a fun way that whole the family can enjoy. Why not put all of our prints on one paper and hang it on the wall. Abbey had received a pad of drawing paper from Easter and it was big enough for all our prints. (By all I mean me, my husband, Abbey and our dog Nurbie.) I even had an old frame that was big enough to hold the paper. 
I then gathered some materials. I used paper plates and spread a thin-ish layer of washable paint onto it; one for me, my husband and Nurbie to dip our hands in. We each chose a color to use. Then, I used a paint brush to brush paint onto Abbey's hands. My husband helped Abbey with her handprints, since she is still too young to understand what to do. Then, I helped Nurbie with his paw prints. Then, the husband and I did our prints.

Once it was dried, I trimmed the paper to fit the frame and then we hung it in our living room. It is a fun piece of art that we made all on our own. 

This is a great way to have a family fun day/night craft with your little ones.
