How to use it: Handprint Christmas Cards
In short: printable cards designed around a child handprint. Ages 1-9. PDF download – prints on US Letter or A4.
Of everything a child brings home in December, the handprint card is the one that survives. It records exactly how big their hand was that year, which is why grandparents keep them and why this craft is worth the paint on the table.
