Handprint Books

I'm always doing tons of hand print projects with the munchkins for the holidays, but unless I safely store them in their already filled 'all about me' books, they probably all tend to get lost at home with the rest of the artwork. I found this idea for a Handprint Art Book through Pinterest, and I knew I just had to make these for my munchkins!

We have a lot of supplies already, but are currently on an ordering hiatus due to unforeseen expenses on fixing the air in the school. I just used a sheet of card stock for each child and cut it in half for the front and back of the book. Then I used 5 large sheets of white construction paper, cut into 4 (making 20 pages inside each book), hole punched the sides and tied it with ribbon, just in case I need to add more pages later. I had the kids write their first names at the top of the book (traced it with highlighted letters if they aren't able yet) and that's it! Easy as ever and great to have ready so I can just place the handprints in the books when they are ready!
