Handprint Poems - New Printable Versions

We love handprint crafts at Activity Village. They are fun to do and give you something to treasure when your child is grown up! And of course they are great for teachers to send home with the kids too, perhaps for Mother's Day or Father's Day. We've just added some printable versions of some of the best handprint poems to the site, to make the process even quicker! Simply print out one of the poems, add a handprint or two to the bottom of the page, then mount on a piece of construction paper or card. Your child may like to add some extra embellishments -perhaps a fingerprint border or some stickers around the edges?

Heart Messages - An Idea for Valentine's Day!

Let your family know all day long how much you care by sending them some heart messages! Cut out a stack of hearts from pink, red, and white paper, write some little messages on them, and hide them in unexpected places. Put them in jacket pockets, in briefcases and satchels, in shoes, in lunch boxes, in cereal bowls, under pillows, tucked into pyjamas - you get the idea!
