Winter Owl Handprint Craft
Some of the reasons we love handprint crafts is because they’re simple and cheap to make!
All you’ll need is some colored paper, scissors and glue. It doesn’t get much easier than that, right?
In case you’re curious, we prefer using colored card stock over construction paper because we love the vibrant colors of the card stock. If colored card stock isn’t an option for you, feel free to use construction paper!
