A last minute gift idea for the grandparents. Hazel helped us make these totally adorable handprint ornaments!
I rolled out some Crayola air dry clay and used Hazel's hand to make an impression in the clay. I used a can to cut out a perfect circle, then waited a few days for them to dry. I painted the handprint with watered down pink acrylic paint, then some glitter glue to seal the handprint. Owen helped out by making the paper piece that we spray glued onto the back of it. After it all dried we used clear acrylic sealant to preserve the whole thing! I think they turned out really cute.
I'm not lyrically talented, so we found the poem on this site!

GREAT IDEA! I do hope you kept one for YOUR tree!
How cute! That is something Grandma and Grandpa will treasure.
I wish I'd got something like that for mine. I got a laminated poster-type thingy of her handprints when she was about 5 or 6 with a similar poem on it. A Christmas ornament would have been awesome; you can see it again year after year.
Very cool!
As another idea for future grandparent gift giving - a t-shirt or sweatshirt with her hand prints on it and something about what great grandparents they are. Works for Christmas or birthdays.
It is beautiful! I have made a handprint ornament 4 years in a row for my granddaughters mama...from a kit. This year I couldn't find the kit. I'm so glad you wrote about this, because I went and bought materials yesterday, and both my dil and dd are getting belated Christmas ornaments!
