That's what I pay daycare the big bucks for! ;) I'm not artsy and I don't like the messes. LO and I can make cookies together or something, but I have no patience for art projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2432364 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 23:34:58 +0000 HLK208 2432364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cringe!

This would NOT happen with my 2 year old!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2432355 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 23:23:47 +0000 hocuspocus 2432355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun!

I wouldn't even try. My Pinterest attempts are like this: </p> [attach=5603/16/o1bqwt.369x600.hilarious-pinterest-fails-19.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431576 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:07:49 +0000 KT326 2431576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do stuff like this all the time in DS's class! His teacher has the patience of a saint. She also does one at a time and not all on the same day so I think that helps. He loves it and is always so proud to show off his artwork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431543 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:53:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 2431543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could see doing this with a small baby that doesn't move around a lot. I did a lot of handprint / footprint art with LO when she was under 1 year old but not this elaborate.</p> <p>Now I am more into doing stuff she can participate in. But to each their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431308 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:12:45 +0000 PawPrints 2431308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could imagine just painting LO's hand solid yellow, then doing a handprint, waiting for it to dry, then painting on the stripes and details. That could be fun. As shown, hell no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431305 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:10:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 2431305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: that's what I was thinking.</p> <p>I think it's really cute! Paint gets all over everything here, but I'm OK with that. She is also obsessed with it, so I try to do it every once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431292 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:07:34 +0000 Bubbles 2431292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like a project that would be more for me than him 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431275 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:02:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 2431275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha i was thinking that too!</p> <p>I saw a thing that a couple family members shared to my wall on facebook of disney princess footprints. I was just like, no way. I don't have time to sit and paint her feet with a billion different colors to wash it off and start over. ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431258 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:55:43 +0000 psw27 2431258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would NEVER happen with my LO... I couldn't even get his hand print as a newborn, let alone as a wild 17 month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431256 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:54:55 +0000 JerricaBenton 2431256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she was in the mood to paint her hands I'd do it. I'd probably just paint the yellow and blue and add the details once it's on the paper. I've done ones like that before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431249 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:53:01 +0000 mauxie 2431249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's cute and doable. Surprisingly, LO (almost 3.5) will stay still/patient for "special" activities and crafts. I'm always amazed at what the daycare teachers can get the kids to do (handprints on ornaments, turned into snowmen, with 2 year olds!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431243 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:51:12 +0000 autumnlove 2431243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun. I'd prob paint the black on later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431222 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:35:13 +0000 Mrs D 2431222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its cute but I am terrified to paint Kate's hand/foot!</p> <p>A teacher of hers tagged me in a picture on FB of foot prints on a canvas turned into Disney Princess's...so cute...I told her I loved it but couldnt handle the thought of having her use her foot. She doesnt even bat an eye at it and is like - just bring them here I'll do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431218 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:32:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2431218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just looking up hand print art. Most of them seemed like mostly work for the adult with a quick stamp from the kid. Not worth it. If I'm doing a project with her that's going to get messy it should at least entertain her for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431217 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:32:37 +0000 twodoghouse 2431217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't imagine doing this! They'd end up with cute little bee colors all over their faces and the dog. However, my mom is a pre-school teacher and does stuff like this every single week with 12 three year olds! She and her assistant teacher have a whole method down and they always turn out cute. It boggles my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431207 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:30:19 +0000 pregnantbee 2431207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really cute.....but maybe only if they did it at school so I don't have to clean up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431152 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:12:36 +0000 looch 2431152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd only do it if my son asked and if he'd do the rest of the embellishing. I have no patience, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431151 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:12:35 +0000 avivoca 2431151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would not fly in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431145 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:11:30 +0000 youboots 2431145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks impossible, even with an adult (to make multiples) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431135 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:09:10 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2431135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha this would never work with my kid. He would ball up his fist immediately and smear it all. Maybe with a 7 year old who WANTED to make the project ;) Super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431134 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:08:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2431134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that is so cute! My 3 year old loves handprint Art, but I've learned the hard way not to get my hopes up on Pinterest crafts. She's not patient enough and doesn't care at all about the finished result (as she shouldn't....she's three! :) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431127 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:07:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2431127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fun! I love stuff like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431125 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:06:49 +0000 Adira 2431125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By the time I got all the paint on his hand, the original color would be dry. That just looks like a pain in the ass to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431121 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:06:00 +0000 Boogs 2431121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paint on body parts never seems to end well, so cringe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-this-craft-fun-or-cringe-worthy#post-2431116 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:05:15 +0000 mediagirl 2431116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this craft idea on Facebook today and I cringed. I can't imagine attempting to paint my child's hand with all of those colors at one time, then getting her to put it on paper without moving it just to create this art project. I am not a Pinterest Mom and I am okay with that. </p> <p>Does this project sound fun or make you cringe? </p> [attach=251/16/o1bh0r.600x381.2016-01-21_14-02-55.jpg]
