  • Instruct your child to lay BOTH of their hands on the colored paper {with their hands completely flat and fingers spread apart.}
  • Trace around their hands with the pencil.
  • Next, instruct them to cut out BOTH designs with the scissors.
  • Now for the final step! Adhere BOTH of the handprint cutouts to the side of the poem cutout.
  • At this point in time you should also punch a hole at the top of the keepsake and string some ribbon through it.
  • Go ahead and also add ANY and all embellishments to give their holiday themed Christmas ornament piece a personalized look.
  • Don’t forget to write your child’s name, age and date on the back!
  • Then display/gift away proudly your child’s beautiful handprint Christmas ornament keepsake piece!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
