As kids trace their hands, cut, and glue, they’ll be honing their fine motor skills and mastering scissor techniques.
They’ll also get some handwriting practice when they write their greeting on the inside of the card. If they’re too young to write just yet, no worries, Mom or Dad can help out with that part!
Crafting this Grinch card will be a breeze with just a few basic supplies and our free template. Grab your crafting supplies, gather the little ones, and let the festive fun begin with this cute handprint card.
Supplies
- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Marker
- Grinch Template (unlock the image at the end of the post to go to the download page)

Directions
Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring the Grinch to life!

Fold the card base in half along the dashed line, then cut it out, leaving the top, flat part uncut. First, guide your child to make the card by gluing both eyes, one on each side, just below the eyebrows, and glue them in place


Next, help your child trace your child’s hand onto a piece of red paper and cut it out. Arrange your child’s handprint with the fingers pointing up. Take the hat fluff and glue it to the bottom of the handprint.

Finally, encourage your child to glue the hat to the top of Grinch’s head.

Open up the card and write a fun message inside! We think any friends or family member would love to receive this homemade Christmas card from your little ones!

Kids will enjoy giving this Christmas crafts to someone special.
