I do love a good handprint craft don’t you? They are adorably cute and make such super keepsakes to goo and gah over in years to come when our precious babies are all grown up! These little Handprint Love Birds are the sweetest, or should I say tweetest little bird craft around and just perfect for Valentine’s Day or even Mother’s Day.

There’s a free printable template so making them is super simple and it comes with three different heart messages to add to your love bird craft. All the messages have a sweet/ tweet word play on them. Too tweet for words!

You can stick your handprint love birds onto greeting cards or turn them into puppets. Either way they are adorable!
