With so many ideas for activities for kids, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do! Handprint art for kids is always a safe bet because not only do kids love doing things with their hands, but they’ll create pieces of art you’ll cherish forever.
While we all love a cute drawing from our little ones, there’s just something special about a craft featuring your child’s handprint. Kids grow so fast and handprint art is a perfect way to capture a piece of that age.
Handprint Art also makes fantastic gifts for grandparents and relatives. Wouldn’t Grammy absolutely love a Santa featuring her grandchild’s handprint?! How special!
