Project: Snowman Ornament

Each of the grandparents got one of these ornaments from the girls to hang on their tree.
I love making personal gifts for family.

Kaylee did a really good job doing these

Keira on the other hand, was to hard to do, she kept moving her hand and you couldn't tell what it was.  It was nice to know that baby wipes could take off the paint!  Finally while she was distracted with eating I was able to get her handprints on them.

Step 1: choose your ornaments, paint and paint brush

Step 2: paint your kids hand

Step 3: place the ornament in their palm and then tell them to close their hand

Step 4: set somewhere safe to dry

I let the ornaments dry for about an hour before getting out my mini sharpies and drawing cute little faces on each snowman.  I had Kaylee help me with deciding what face she wanted them to make.

I love the way they turned out. 

 I love how they turned out so much, that I made some for our Christmas tree

I hope to make more ornaments with the girls as they get bigger.

I think as a new tradition we will do a handprint snowman and decorate them.  As the girls get bigger they will get to draw the faces and hats on them.  It would be fun to see how the snowmen change over the years.
