Handprint Christmas Angels
These finger-paint angels make heavenly decorations. Create an angel choir for tree trimmings, or make personalized Christmas cards.
1. Spread newspaper over your work area. Fold blue construction paper in half or into quarters to make a card. Pour white Crayola® Washable Finger Paint into a recycled produce tray.
2. Press one hand into the paint. Press your palm on the paper to create an angel body. Make another light handprint, or gently twist your hand back and forth to create blurry angel wings. Dry.
3. Add facial features and decorate with Crayola Washable Markers. Glue on ribbon and eyes (optional) with Crayola School Glue. Bend a chenille stick or ribbon into a halo and glue over the angel's head.
4. Write a holiday message to use as a card. Glue a loop of ribbon onto the back of the angel to hang it as an ornament or doorknob decoration.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.
Recycled Foam Produce Trays—Wash in hot, soapy water. No meat or poultry trays should be used.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
