Handprint Heart with a Poem

While browsing around the Ucreate blog, I came across a Handprint Heart craft that they featured from The Idea Room. I thought it was so cute and decided to make a similar version with my toddler. Be sure you head over to see what they wrote on theirs!

Here's how we made our Handprint Heart with Poem Card:

First, I painted one of his hands pink and then pressed it down on the paper in a closed position. Then, I painted his other hand purple and pressed it down overlapping the pink handprint to form a heart shape. I thought adding a cute poem would be the perfect touch since my little guy can't write his own message yet. I wrote it lightly in pencil first and then went back with my acid-free black pen and rewrote it. When the ink finished drying, I erased the pencil marks.

Ten Little Fingers Poem:

Even ten little fingers can't count,

the way I love you with all my heart!
