I’ve always loved to create personalized Christmas handprint art with my kids. Each year, when I unpack our Christmas decorations, it’s always fun to see how small they were and how their creativity has grown through the years.

Handprint Christmas Craft Round-Up

I compiled this roundup of my favorite ideas for hand-and-footprint crafts you can do with your kids.

Handprint Santa Mug

This one is a bit of a classic. You see this handprint on salt dough ornaments (use this kit), but with the right little hands, it’s perfect on a mug. I’ve used this mug kit to make perfect handprint Christmas mugs. Paint the fingers silver and the palm a skin tone color of your choice – this one is best for kids old enough to follow instructions to keep their hands flat. 

Christmas Tree Footprint Mug

It is perfect craft for little ones who aren’t old enough to follow the instructions to make the Santa mug. Just make sure you get their footprint upside down…the flip side of this mug has an upside-down tree. But the imperfections make them perfect.

Rudolph Footprint Mug

Ah…all these little hands and feet give me all the feels. I love using these for my morning coffee during the holidays. This footprint mug is so easy to do with some brown on the bottom of your baby’s foot.

Handprint Deer Platter

How adorable are these handprint deer? This is a perfect handprint craft for the bigger kids and would look great on this wood sign.

Fingerprint Snowman

This is a great way to capture their handprint when they are too big to fit on the mug.

Reindeer Plate

It’s an adorable way to use hands AND feet.

Handprint Wreaths

Create a wreath with handprints from the whole family or all the grandkids.

Teacher Thank You Gift

Any teacher would love to get this thoughtful plate or any of these other teacher appreciation gifts.

Thumbprint Birds

I love doing thumb or fingerprint crafts with littles who might not have the attention span for a bigger craft. This robin would be perfect for handmade cards or a canvas.

Rudolph Thumbprint Ornament

This thumbprint is perfect for an ornament.
