Cold Hands, Warm Heart Handprint Craft

Although it doesn’t feel like winter AT ALL here in Tampa, Florida right now, I am pretty excited to share our latest printable cold hands, warm heart handprint keepsake idea that is perfect for the time of year we are in!

Keep scrolling to see our cold hands, warm heart kid craft idea come to life with just a few simple steps and materials! Not to mention – there is also a FREE printable to get you started within a matter of minutes!

Cold Hands, Warm Heart Handprint Craft

Handprint Cold Hands, Warm Heart Keepsake

In our newest post today, I’ve included TWO printables that you are free to use, if you {or if you don’t – run with your own idea! You honestly won’t hurt my feelings!}

One printable is the large red heart, which is the center of the craft and the other, is the two mitten cutouts. Either/or can be substituted out if you like, especially if you have much older kids & the printables happen to be too small for your use.

To start the cold hands, warm heart craft idea, just grab the FREEBIE files below and print them out on your own printer, from the comfort of your home. From there, you and your child are going to do some handprints, cutting and gluing to make some custom mittens around a sweet sentiment! Perfect for winter!

You can pretty much add anything to make it your own, so please don’t feel limit by today’s winter craft tutorial or the materials I used for my photos. I just really want to jump-start that creativity within you and your child today, so don’t let it be contained by us!

I’ll let you get to it now so – happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us, on our Facebook page, as well! #gluedtomycrafts
