Got a little wild thing on your hands? This tiger handprint craft is the perfect blend of snips, scribbles, and smiles. Whether you're in the middle of a jungle animal unit or just looking to keep little hands busy (and off your walls), this no-mess activity delivers all the fun without the paint-covered chaos.
It’s also sneaky-good for building those fine motor skills like tracing, cutting, gluing, and drawing help with coordination, focus, and hand strength. Your preschooler won’t even notice they’re learning while they create their fierce little feline.

What You'll Need for This Handprint Tiger Craft
Let's Make a Fierce Tiger Handprint!
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies! You’ll need orange, black, and white construction paper, scissors, a glue stick, a pencil, and a black marker.
Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces
Trace your child’s hand onto the orange construction paper and cut it out to form the tiger’s face.
Cut out two small white circles for the eyes and a rounded black shape for the nose.
Step 3: Draw the Pupils
Use the black marker to draw pupils inside the white circles, leaving a small space uncolored to give the eyes a little sparkle.
Step 4: Draw the Stripes
Draw black triangles and stripes around the fingers and palm of the handprint to create the tiger’s markings.
Step 5: Glue On the Eyes
Glue the eyes near the top center of the handprint.
Step 6: Add the Nose
Add the black nose just below the eyes in the middle of the palm.
Step 7: Draw Whiskers and Mouth
With your marker, draw whiskers extending from each side of the nose and add a little mouth and dots for extra detail.
All done!
Your tiger handprint is ready to roar!
