Handprint Santa: An Adorable Christmas Craft for Kids


We love Handprint Crafts and Christmas so of course we needed to make a Santa handprint craft to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. With a few coats of paint and one adorable little hand you can make Santa to hang on your wall, turn into a card (I’m sure grandma and grandpa would love one), make into a gift tag, and keep forever to remember how small your child’s hand used to be for years to come.

Supplies:

Tan paper-affiliate link (I like using cardstock for handprint crafts because it doesn’t wrinkle from the paint)
White paint-affiliate link

Red paint-affiliate link

Black and red pen

Scissors

Directions:

Paint child’s fingers white to make Santa’s beard.

Paint the top portion of child’s hand red and their thumb to make Santa’s hat. Leave the middle of their palm empty.

Gently press their hand onto the tan paper to make the print. I like to put my hand on top of the fingers to keep them from wiggling and give them a baby wipe right after to make sure paint doesn’t end up everywhere. Set it aside to dry.

Cut the handprint out.

 

Add eyes and a cherry nose with the pens.

You can glue santa to a folded piece of paper to make a homemade card, tie a ribbon at the top to make an ornament or gift tag, or hang on the walls for some added Christmas cheer.

  • These little bugs took no time at all to make and are a pretty self-guided craft for kids. Little Tiger finished chopping potatoes while helping me make dinner and found our bags full of lids on the counter (3 bags to be exact–no lid gets left behind in our house :). Before long I looked over and there were 3 bugs staring back at me and no mess in sight! Since the little bugs sitting on my counter make me smile when I look at them I thought you should have some too.
  • This activity helps kids learn to count to 100, introduces them to place values, helps with number recognition and number relationships while allowing them to be actively involved as they learn instead of just staring at a chart with lots of numbers which can be overwhelming.
  • We love stars around here so naturally one of our favorite things that live in the ocean is starfish aka sea stars. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and textures so we have provided you with a free craft template to make a big, medium, and small size starfish craft with your kids. We also show you how to take your craft to the next level by giving it texture and folding it to give it dimension, and if you want you can give it added color with paint. Each one will turn out amazing!
  • When this sunset Tissue Paper Craft is hung in a window it magically seems to glow resembling the beauty of a real sunset on the horizon. No glue or scissor skills are required, so this craft is easy to clean up and perfect for kids of all ages!
  • One of the most beloved children’s authors has to be Dr. Seuss who happens to have a birthday coming up on March 2nd. Did you know he wasn’t technically a doctor?– but that’s okay we still love him anyways! To start celebrating my kids picked out Horton Hears a Who!
  • The set comes in a print-in-color or a color-me (coloring book) version. You can print the set out and assemble it, or extend this activity further by letting your students color their own spinner increasing their recognition of each picture.
