This is a fun activity that includes the whole family! The project is easy and makes a great gift for grandparents or a keepsake art piece for the nursery.
Materials needed:
- Scrapbook paper
- Background paper
- Pencil for tracing
- Scissors
- Glue
Step one: Trace each family member’s hand and cut it out.
Step two: Glue the hands down on the background paper from largest to smallest.
Step three: Be creative! Add a favorite quote, your family's name, date, a special note to your baby, or whatever you choose.
A couple other ways to do this would be with fabric or paint instead of paper cutouts.
