Handprint Baby Jesus Ornament {Mindy Jones Blog}
My daughter actually made this at preschool, so there is no post linked to it, BUT I’ll give you the basic rundown real quick…
You’ll need:
- Brown finger paint
- Blue and white constrcution paper
- Black sharpie or marker
- Scalloped egde scissors
- String or ribbon (we used red ribbon, but twine would be adorable too!)
Simply dip your child’s hand in brown finger paint and place it on the white construction paper.
Then, cut out a small white circle and blue oval – draw a face on the circle and place both on top to look like baby Jesus on the handprint.
Cut around the handprint with the scalloped edge scissors, hole punch a small hole at the top, tie a string/ribbon through, and ta-da! You are done! 🙂
I would also recommend writing their name, age, and the date on the back!
I love handprint crafts because they are so personal, and if you do this craft each year from the time your child is a baby and up, you can see the growth and eventually put them in a scrapbook! 🙂
