Handprint Mitten Holiday Card Preschool Craft

Download this printable Christmas card, add your preschooler’s hand print and a few embellishments to make a one of a kind card to send to friends and family this year. It’s much less expensive than purchasing preprinted cards from the store and everyone will love receiving a handmade personalized card from your preschooler. Set aside a quiet afternoon, get out some paint and decorations and let your preschooler help you get one of the items on your holiday “to do list” completed.
