Save the pages in your favourite superhero books with these adorable superhero bookmarks featuring The Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America. All you need are our templates, some popsicle sticks, scissors, and glue, and you're all set. It couldn't be easier!
Superhero Painted Rocks
How will you use these superhero painted rocks? They make terrific paperweights for Dad to use at the office. You could also add them to the garden for a little hero flair as you have your adventures outdoors. Of course, they will look cute in a superhero bedroom, too!
Incredibles Handprint Superhero Craft
We absolutely loved watching The Incredibles, and this Incredibles handprint craft is the perfect project to make after watching the films. Kids use their handprints to make the characters—one handprint for the face and hair, the other handprint for the body. They're easier to make than you think and would make the cutest cards or room decor.
Handprint Batman Craft
Preserve your little hero's handprints with this cute Batman handprint craft. Turn this into a card for Dad or a nice little canvas to hang on the wall of your child's bedroom or nursery.
Batman Cork Figure Craft
Continuing with our Batman craze, we made this charming little Batman craft in no time. It makes an excellent and inexpensive toy for small-world play. If you have lots of wine corks saved, they'd be excellent as party favours at a Batman-themed party.
Hulk Handprint
Our Hulk handprint craft is so much fun to make! We drew his angry face to make him look like he's hulking out. Young children may need help drawing the face, but older kids can make their own fun expressions for him.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Handprints
You can't forget the heroes in a half-shell! It's hard to believe that these characters are still popular after all these years, but we're glad they are. Easily personalise your TMNT handprint craft to make Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello by changing out their eye mask color.
Spider-Man Handprints
Are your spidey senses tingling? If so, make this cute Spider-Man handprint craft to work off that creative energy. This handprint craft will look fantastic on a canvas for the wall or cardstock to send to friends and family.
Bat Plane - Batman Craft
We all know Batman has the coolest forms of transportation. Make your own super-cool superhero Bat plane batman craft out of cardboard and an empty toilet roll tube! Little ones may need help tracing the bat pattern and cutting, but they can paint it all by themselves. Of course, they'll spend lots of time playing with it!
Superhero Mask Craft
Go on your own superhero adventures with these cute superhero masks. We have printable templates for both Captain America and Spider-Man. These masks make fun photo props for a superhero party, too.
Superhero Puppets

Superhero Card for Dad
It doesn't have to be Father's Day for you to give this adorable superhero card to Dad. Use our free printable template to place the footprint on along with a picture of Dad or a crafty face that looks like Dad. This card will work for Dad's birthday, too.
Mix and Match Superhero Craft
Kids will love turning themselves into their favourite superheroes with this fun mix and match superhero template that's as simple as colour, cut, and paste. Kids can use their own faces or the ones provided to make Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, or one of the Incredibles.
Split-Pin Spider-Man
Make a papercraft with movable parts! This split-pin Spider-Man has movable legs, arms, and a movable head. This is a great superhero craft for kids of all ages. Little ones can do the painting while an adult helps draw the spiderweb pattern and features, but older kids can do it all by themselves.
Fun Superhero Arts and Crafts
Captain America Paper Plate Shield
Little ones can practice their cutting skills with this Captain America Paper Plate Shield by Non-Toy Gifts. Place squares of tissue paper in concentric circles on a paper plate to make this patriotic shield. Of course, it's not complete without a star in the middle!
Superhero Cuffs
Using empty toilet paper rolls is certainly a frugal way to craft. Turn those cardboard tubes into something fun, like these superhero cuffs from Kids Activities Blog. If you provide pre-painted cardboard tubes, stars, bats, and other emblems, they will make a great superhero party craft for the kids to put together in just a few minutes.
Iron Man Toilet Roll Craft
Speaking of toilet roll crafts, any Tony Stark fan will love this super simple Iron Man Toilet Roll Craft from Glue Sticks & Gumdrops. Using coloured paper makes the craft easy and quick, but you could also paint the tube instead.

Once the adhesive dries, these gloves are ready for playtime.
Superhero Blocks
Do you have a Jenga game that you no longer use? Turn some of those blocks into fun superhero blocks by Organised 31 to decorate your child's room. The kids can help with the painting, but you may need to assist in drawing the superhero emblems.
Superhero Goggles Craft
Recycle some egg cartons to make these silly superhero goggles from Our Kid Things. You could also use them to pretend to be an old-fashioned aviator. There are so many ways to play with them!
