Make an X is for X-ray Handprint with black paint and white bone details. This Letter X handprint craft builds alphabet skills through creative handprint art.

Materials

  • White cardstock or notebook
  • Black washable paint
  • Paintbrush
  • White paint marker
  • Baby wipes or paper towels

Instructions

  1. Paint the entire hand with black washable paint, covering the palm, thumb, and fingers with an even coat.
  2. Press the painted hand firmly onto a sheet of paper with the fingers spread slightly apart. Carefully lift the hand straight up to leave a clean handprint. Allow the paint to dry completely.
  3. Once the paint has dried, use a white paint marker or white permanent marker to draw the bones inside each finger. Use short sections to represent individual finger bones.
  4. Draw long white lines extending through the center of the palm to create the hand bones.
  5. Add several small white ovals near the base of the palm to represent the wrist bones.
  6. Draw a few white bone details inside the thumb to complete the X-ray effect.
  7. Write “X is for X-ray” across the top of the page with a black marker to finish the alphabet craft.
