“This little hand holds your spot, A gift from me, I love you a lot.
Each time you read, think of me, And the love we share, endlessly.”

To complete this “holds your spot” craft idea, all you need to do is print out the provided file on WHITE cardstock paper. Go ahead and trim out each tag.

Next, kids will trace and cut out their handprints from cardstock paper, then decorate them with fun elements like glitter, heart stickers, and more.

Once the decorations are completely dry, caretakers can “seal” the handprints and the tag together between two pieces of clear contact paper to preserve them forever.

Finally, punch a hole at the top, thread some string through, and turn it into a charming bookmark that is ready to gift instantly!!

This simple yet meaningful craft is a wonderful way to capture a moment in time and share a little love. Happy crafting! ❤️

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

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!
