Christmas Handprint Art

When I was a kindergarten teacher, some of our favorite parent gifts were handprint crafts. I always loved getting them as a parent too…and we actually just hung a few on our Christmas tree last week.

These Christmas handprint printables turn simple crafts into sentimental holiday keepsakes with trees, ornaments, and a sweet “JOY” design kids will love. They’re perfect for holiday parties, classroom craft time, or homemade gifts for mom, dad, or grandparents.

Framed Christmas sign reads "JOY to the world, the Lord is come! Merry Christmas" with a handprint forming the "O," surrounded by pine branches and a snow globe.

Why We Love These Printables

It’s an easy way to create meaningful keepsakes that can be used as Christmas decor for years to come.
They work for so many settings, from classroom activities, holiday parties, playdates or even just some rainy day fun.
They’re easy, low-budget, and don’t require a lot of supplies.

How To Create Your Handprint Art

Print your favorite design on white cardstock for the best results. Regular paper works too, but cardstock makes it feel more like a keepsake and works best for framing.
Pour a small amount of washable paint onto a paper plate or tray. Green works great for the trees, but feel free to get creative with colors.
Gently press your child’s hand into the paint, making sure their palm and fingers are fully covered.
Carefully press their hand onto the printable in the designated area and lift straight up to avoid smudging.
Let the paint dry completely. Once dry, you can add names, dates, or any other festive touches you like.
