Hand-Print Christmas Art: Easy Craft for Kids that Makes a Great Gift!

Hand-Print Christmas Art

I’ve pinned so many of these cute, hand-print Christmas art projects over the years, but never took the time to try one out! Today was the day. We gathered our supplies and rolled up our sleeves! I attempted this with a 5 month old, a 1 year old, and a 7, 9 and 11 year old. We made a hand-print Christmas tree and a wreath. This is such an easy craft to do with kids and it would make a really nice gift.


What you need

Here are the supplies you should gather up before starting this project:

  • Paint in the colors of your choice. I wanted a mix of green and teal. I used a bunch of random cans and tubes of paint that I had on hand, but if you want to make your life easier – use a washable paint like this one (this set comes with a great assortment of colors): Washable Kids Paint
  • Disposable plates
  • Paint brushes
  • Baby wipes or paper towel
  • Square canvas
  • Portrait canvas
  • Ribbon
  • Hot glue or Elmer’s glue

What to do

Here’s what we did:

  • Put small dabs of paint onto a plate (don’t use too much!)
  • Roll up your kid’s sleeves and have the wipes ready to go.
  • Have kids place their hands in the paint or paint it onto their hand with a paint brush
  • Gently and carefully position their hand on the canvas where you want it!

Tip: If you’re working with an infant or a toddler, this is a two person job! Have one person hold one hand while you gently apply paint to the other hand and position it onto the canvas. Grab a wipe and clean their hand immediately.

Pin-It for Later!
