DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Santa Claus Handprint Craft

Handprint crafts where you use different colors on the hand are a bit more challenging, but this cute little Santa Claus is worth it!

Materials:

• white paint (poster, tempra, fingerpaint),
• red paint (poster, tempra, fingerpaint),
• black marker and red marker,
• thick paper (card stock or construction paper).
• ribbon or wool,
• scissors and hole punch.

Instructions:

My daughter made this in preschool.

• Just paint your child's hand with white paint on the tip of the thumb, red on the ball of the
  hand with a little white under it, pink on the palm (mix white with a little red to make pink) and white on the fingers.
• Use a white fingerprint for the ball at the end of Santa's hat.
• Then use marker or paint to make the face after it dries.
• Cut out a circle around the Santa.
• Punch a hole in the top and thread some ribbon through.
• We hang ours on our Christmas tree.
