Or you could use fabric crayons.

You could trace their hands onto a sheet of copy paper and have them color in the handprint. Then iron onto white fabric or a white sheet.

This is what I use too. The acrylic paints and the medium are very inexpensive and a little goes a looong way :wink: :D:D:D

iron fabric to freezer paper and let them color the hands [no need for special colors if you heat set ]

What a nice project for the kids to do and a wonderful gift for the child who is not well. Like all the suggestions - this is something I would like to do with my grands.
