Every year one of our count down to Christmas activities is to make Holiday cards. This year we made these darling keepsake hand-print cards for family, friends, and teachers.
What you Need:
- 8 1/2 x 11 Green and Red Construction Paper or Cardstock (Cardstock is sturdier)
- Googly Eyes
- Tempura Paint: White, Red, Pink (mix white and red to make the pink)
- Black Sharpie
- Kids Hands!
How to Make it:
- Fold Green paper in Half to make a card
- Put White paint on a paper plate and have your child dip his/her palm in it to cover completely
- Make an upside down hand print towards the bottom of the paper
- Let Dry
- Cut out Santa hats (make them so the tip is on the paper)
- Glue hats onto paper about 2 fingers above the hand print
- Dip fingertips into white paint to make the white trim and tip on Santa's hat
- Dip fingertips into red paint to make nose and pink paint to make cheeks
- Glue on googly eyes
- Using a black Sharpie, draw a little circle for the mouth
