The holiday season is the perfect time for kids to use their creativity and spread a little Christmas cheer. How about doing so with a homemade card? 

This Grinch handprint card craft is a heartwarming keepsake since it features your little one’s handprint for the Grinch’s hat! This is a fun project for children of all ages and combines the joy of creating with the excitement of seeing a beloved holiday character come to life.
