    Instead of the typical fingerprint or handprint crafts, this card uses a toddler's "armprint" and a side handprint. This card is especially fitting for dads who are handy with tools, but it doesn't have to be limited to that -- all dads "fix" a lot of things!

    This craft works well for very young toddlers through preschool age. A foam paintbrush is optional, but does work better for painting a hand than a regular brush does.
