Handprint Christmas cards are a yearly tradition for many families — and grandparents absolutely love receiving them. Here are the best designs.
Christmas Tree
Green handprint with fingers pointing down forms a tree shape. Add a yellow star at the top and dot ornaments on the fingers. Simple and effective.
Reindeer
Brown handprint with fingers as antlers. Add googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Handprint” never fails.
Santa
Red handprint for the body, flesh-coloured thumb for the face, white paint dots for the beard. Add a tiny hat on the thumb.
Snowman
White handprint on blue card. Add a top hat, scarf, carrot nose, and button eyes to the thumb. Each finger becomes a tiny snowman.
Tips for Success
- Use thick card, not thin paper.
- Have wet wipes ready before you start.
- Do it after a nap when baby is calm.
- Make extras — some will smear, and that’s fine.
