How to Make a Handprint Jellyfish Craft

1. Download and Print the Template

Print the free template onto a sheet of paper. You can find the link for the printable at the bottom of the post, all you need to do is scroll down and click the large blue button.

2. Cover Your Hand with Paint

Use a paintbrush to spread a thin layer of paint all over your child’s hand.

3. Press Your Hand to the Paper

Place your hand so that the palm is inside the jellyfish’s head, and your fingers are pointing to the bottom of the page, along with its tendrils.

If you want a very clear handprint outline, then encourage your kids to not move their fingers from side to side as they press their hand onto the paper.

4. Let it Dry

Carefully, lift your hand away from the page and let the paint dry.

Once the paint is dry you can also add your own personal touch to the picture. Like gluing on some googly eyes to the jellyfish’s face or drawing some fishy friends for it to swim with.
