Lots of Hand Outlines and Templates (Free Printables!)

Sharing is caring!

Looking for a hand outline or printable hand templates? We created some free printable templates for you to grab and use in all sorts of fun creative projects.

These hand templates are perfect for all sorts of crafts and fun activities.

Some of our favorite ways to use them include:

• Making handprint keepsakes
• Painting the hands
• Doing “manicures” on the paper hand templates
• Use as coloring pages
• Friends learning activities
• To use for writing projects
• To use to practice drawing hands
• To use for scissor skills
• Handprint crafts

They’re also great for using as hand stencils. Cut out an outline, place it on colored paper, and trace around the edge. For a full-body collage, combine the hands with the person, eye, and lip templates linked below.

We’ve got a few different hand outline templates that you can grab. We’ve got very large ones and smaller ones too.

For home or classroom activities, print only the pages you need. Use regular paper for coloring or cardstock for a reusable tracing stencil. Check the print preview and choose “Fit to page” if any edges are cut off. Help younger children cut around the fingers.

The best part is that they are all free to download!

If you are looking for other body part templates, we also have free printable eyes, person templates and lip templates.

Large Hand Outline

We have two large hand templates: one for the left hand and one for the right hand.

These are blank handprint templates that let kids get creative!

They can cut them out and color or draw on them.

Or they can draw what different types of hands might look like.

Try a monster’s hands or a pirate’s hands!

Kids can draw jewelry, colorful nails, or gloves on their hands. And you don’t have to stick with just crayons or markers.

Try adding paper bracelets or scraps of yarn for a little texture.

Each large hand outline is on its own page.

This hand outline is perfect for bigger crafts and great for learning activities for kids.

Two Hand Outline Templates

The medium-sized hand templates come in three layouts, with either two or four hand outlines on a page.

The first one features a set of hand outlines together horizontally on the paper.

The second layout has four hand outlines on one page. The third has two hands arranged vertically.

Small Hand Outlines

We also have small hand outlines grouped on a page for projects that need lots of little hands, such as classroom displays or paper collages.

Other Creative Ideas for the Free Templates

There are tons of fun ways kids can use these templates.

Turn an outline into a handprint turkey, or place it under a thin sheet of paper to practice tracing. For counting practice, fold down the paper fingers one at a time. A group of children can decorate their own paper hands and tape them together into a friendship display.

For an animal-themed project, try our handprint cow craft or handprint bee craft. Each has its own template and assembly instructions.
