Valentine Hands!

It's almost Valentine's Day and all the kids are picking out their special Valentine cards to give out to their friends. My daughter Jade and I wanted to do something different this Valentine's Day for her Kindergarten class so we thought of Valentine hands! The materials needed are so simple and they look so adorable you'll want to make some with your own hand print!

Supplies:
  • Construction paper or card stock(red, pink, white)
  • Valentine stickers
  • Pen/marker/crayon(any color)
  • A cute lil hand
 Trace your little one's hand onto your paper, we used red card stock so it wouldn't rip easily when the kids exchange them for Valentine's Day.


After you trace one or two, you can use the cut out hands as a stencil to trace the rest. Jade got tired of me tracing her hand after two so I traced the other 21 with the cut out paper hand.


Have your child decorate the hands with stickers and write their name at the bottom. You can even add clever sayings to the top of the hand, some we thought of are: "You're the best, Hands down!" or "You're hand-some" or " My heart is in your hand".


Here are some of Jade's finished Valentine hands, she's still working on the other 18! :)



Have Fun!!
