On Dasher , On Dancer , On Prancer….

Hand Print
Rudolf

I am sure this craft is not new to all of you, but I still wanted to do it with my son and figured I’d share it! Any craft that uses hand prints is a great keepsake, every year you can pull it out and see how small those little hands were and how much they’ve grown!
  1. Gather your materials. You will need 3-4 pieces of construction paper or card stock, some googly eyes, a red pom pom, glue, red and green crayons and glue.
  2. Start by tracing your child’s hands on one piece of paper.
  3. Now trace their foot on another piece. Cut everything out.
  4. While you are cutting hand your child the white piece of paper and have them decorate it , older children can draw a nice scene or do a fun abstract like my son.
  5. Time to glue. Add the foot first if you have a little one, they can glue it , then you can add the hands under it, and your child can press it down.
  6. Add the eyes
  7. Don’t forget the red nose!
  8. I trimmed our paper with pinking sheers and added a red backing so it would stand out against the white door we are displaying it on.

    I was really contemplating not posting cause as a teacher this is such a standard, but then some mommy friends had never heard of it, so here it is!

  • Michelle Sybert:

    Cute idea! I never thought of it before.

  • Allie:

    Oh good , I am glad I posted our rather drunk looking rudolf :)

  • Christy:

    I have seen this before but I completely forgot about it and never would have remembered without you. I use all of your ideas and am forever grateful to you. Thanks!

  • (fairy) Godmother:

  • IzzysMa:

    so glad you posted this, ‘ve never seen it before. After work yesterday I got the stuff and when I got home my 2yr old and I got straight to it. It’s so cute and so simple.

  • Lucky Me!:

    I totally forgot about this classic! I did this one when I was in school. Thanks for reminding me!

  • MaryAnne:

    I hadn’t ever heard of this before. I did it with my daughter and she loved it, even if she picked out some goofy colors for the reindeer. I’ll post a pic on my blog later…

  • Meredith:

    Thanks for the great idea! My 2 yr old loved this activity this morning!

  • Allie:

    I will be checking to see the fun colored Rudolf! I should do a Christmas round up of pictures of children with crafts they’ve made from here…hmmmm

    If you have a picture of your child you would like to share doing or displaying their craft ( or just the craft) email it to me and I will get them all together maybe as my Christmas Day post. Yeah I like that idea.

  • Carolyn:

    We made this on the weekend, so cute!

  • Carrie:

    I am so happy you posted this. My toddler has yet to go to school, so this is perfect for us. I plan to do it for our playgroup’s holiday party. I have a question for you. Our playgroup is split between people celebrating Christmas and Hunakkah. I am going to use the party to introduce both celebrations. Do you have a craft idea similiar to Rudolph, using handprints, that would be less Christmas themed. Perhaps a snowman. Thank you so much. I love your site and now that my son is 2 I will be using all of your ideas as much as possible!

  • Carrie:

    Sorry…I was a little backwards…Hanukkah!
