Instructions
Step 1: Paint the Handprint
Paint your child’s hand green and press it firmly onto the paper, canvas, or ornament surface. Carefully lift the hand to reveal the handprint.
Step 2: Let It Dry
Allow the green handprint to dry completely before adding details.
Step 3: Create the Grinch Face
Turn the palm area into the Grinch’s face by gluing on googly eyes and drawing the nose and grumpy smile with a black marker.

Cut out a Santa hat shape using red paper or felt. Glue it to the top of the handprint and add cotton balls for the fluffy trim and pom-pom.
Step 5: Add a Hanger
If making ornaments, punch a small hole at the top and attach ribbon or twine for hanging on the Christmas tree.

This is so stinking cute!! This was also a really great written instruction on how to do this project with the kids.
I work at a public library and I am sure the kids would love something like this. I will pass this on to the children’s librarian.
The story of the Grinch is one of our holiday favorites. I love that we can celebrate with this adorable craft. Plus, anything that reminds me of how tiny my littles were makes this mama’s heart grow three sizes.
These are seriously so cute! I’ll have to have these on my radar for next year for sure!
This reminds me of the art activities I did with my kids when they were younger…nowadays, my oldest paints, draws, and animates…simple art activities back then, bigger canvasses tomorrow! Keep it up! 🙂
Somehow I missed seeing these before Christmas, but I am STILL going to do them with my Grinch obsessed four year old and put them up for next year!! Thanks for sharing the cuteness!
These are so cute! My son is obsessed with the Grinch this year, he would love to do a craft like this. I’ll have to see how he likes it, thanks for sharing!
