Love Hands Kid Craft With Free Printable

Love Hands Kid Craft With Free Printable

I whipped up a cute little template for the young kids at church last week and thought the craft turned out so cute that I wanted to share the free printable here at Small Talk Mama.

I thought the little ones did such a good job with this kid craft that I asked my son to create one for me, and he kindly humored me one morning before school. I just never know if he will or he won’t from one minute to the next these days. He is so on the verge of being a “big boy,” but I just keep wishing he won’t grow up. Anyway, I was ecstatic with the finished product and can’t wait to frame this sweet keepsake just in time for Valentine’s Day.

You can download and/or print the free template here to create your own personalized version. Simply print the file on whatever type of 8.5 x 11″ paper you like, dip your child’s hand in paint or brush it on and place the hand on the paper in the spot where the “O” should go. After the paint dries, you can easily frame this family keepsake and treasure it forever. It’s so easy, you can make one for grandma too!

 

Pinecones and Pompons Make Easy Kid Craft

Here’s one of the cutest little Christmas crafts my son and his cousin, Norah, put together last year; and if I remember correctly, I believe even the big kids got in on the action. I mean, who can resist those tiny little pompons?

To make this super easy Christmas kid craft all you need are some medium-sized pinecones, small colorful pompons and some basic craft or school glue. We also used some small red Christmas bells because I picked them up for cheap at the craft store. For little ones, an adult can simply put a few dollops of glue randomly around the pinecone and let the children add the pompons on top of the glue. Older kids should be able to easily craft these miniature “Christmas trees” themselves.

What I really liked about this finished project was that I had an empty cloche and my son’s pretty pinecone was a perfect fit. By placing it under glass, the whole Christmas pinecone shone a bit more brightly and so did the smile on my son’s face.
