Mommy and Me 3D Hand Art

Make this super cool and special keepsake with your kids! How to make 3D art hands with highlighters.

For the last couple of weeks my toddler and I have been doodling, drawing, and making lots of art. It’s kind of amazing, because a few months ago, the idea of sitting down with him to do anything artistic was almost impossible. He just loves being outdoors or running really fast so much! Yesterday he actually asked me if he could pick the material for his doodles, so I let him decide, and he stood up next to the paper and markers for a couple of minutes and helped me with this project.

The material he picked was some cute mini highlighters. He said he really liked the colors, and as soon as I saw them I knew exactly what I wanted to draw.

For a long time I wanted to make a fun 3D hand art drawing using my son’s tiny hand. I knew it was going to be a perfect keepsake for us so we can always remember how tiny he was when he was two years old.

Materials:

Steps:

  1. To make a 3D art hand drawing, you just need to start by tracing your kids hand.

  2. Then make a straight line on the paper and a curve as soon as you get into the drawn hand.

  3. Continue using different colors to create a fun and almost psychedelic effect.

Hang it on the wall and display it as art or give it away to your hubby as a special gift for Valentine’s Day!
