Do you make ornaments with the kids every year? We love to make keepsake ornaments made with handprints! It's such a precious way to preserve those holiday memories. My little ones love to look at their past ornaments every year and compare sizes and see how much bigger their hands are.
Salt dough ornaments and clay are popular ways to make them. You can also use cardstock, felt, ball ornaments, craft foam, or even construction paper. Below are 10 different ornaments including snowmen, doves, mittens, holly, Santa, reindeer, and more!
