Handprint Face Fun: A Creative Cut and Paste Worksheet for Kids!

Tracing or printing a handprint and then building a face on it with cut-out features combines fine motor practice, following multi-step instructions, and open-ended creativity in a single activity. For ages three to five, the sequencing required, print, then cut, then arrange, then paste, also strengthens working memory as children hold several steps in mind at once.

How to use this worksheet

Help your child press their hand onto the ink pad, paint, or provided outline to create the handprint in the box on the page. Once it's dry, lay out the cut-out facial features (eyes, nose, mouth) so your child can see all the options. Have them cut out each feature carefully and arrange them on the handprint before gluing anything down, so they can experiment with placement first. Let them use crayons or markers to add final details like hair or a hat once the features are glued.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Crayons or Markers

Extension activities

  • Create a whole handprint family, using different sizes of paper for each family member.
  • Make handprint faces showing different emotions, happy, silly, surprised, using the same cut-out pieces.
  • Turn a handprint into an animal instead of a person by adding ears, a snout, or a tail.
  • Frame the finished handprint craft and display it somewhere your child can see their work.
