Featuring cute and no-prep art pages, this new year craft activity is perfect for your kindergarten learners. Designed with care and attention to detail, this printable is an awesome addition to your lesson plans, suitable for both classroom and homeschool settings.

This cute and simple new year's handprint art activity is such a fun and hands-on experience for kindergarteners and preschoolers.

Creating art pages using handprints is a great way for learners to express their creativity and imagination with this simple handprint art craft activity. Since learners will have to deal with the paint directly this is a great sensory activity for learners as well, as they explore the texture of the paint with their senses while doing the activity.

How can learners benefit from this activity?

- Fun and hands-on.

- Allows learners to express their creativity in a fun way.

- Gives learners a lot of freedom, great for learners who like open ended exploration and activities.

- Great sensory activity for learners to explore and get used to the texture and feeling of the paint.

- Fun keepsake for learners to celebrate the new year!

What does this printable include?

There are a total of 8 new year themed pages included in this printable.

This printable includes 2 versions of this new year handprint art activity!

- Blank pages: where learners will place their handprints to create their art piece.

- Completed versions: which can be used to give learners an idea of what they need.

How do learners do this new year's craft activity?

- Print out the pages you'd like learners to do for this activity.

- Provide learners with paint, you can get learners to paint their own hands with paint. Alternatively, provide learners with trays of 1 to 2 colors filled with a thin layer of paint, they will dip their palms into the paint.

- Learners will then place their palms onto the page to stamp their handprint and create their new year's handprint project.

- Leave the pages up to dry completely before giving it back to your learners.

This is a fun activity, but can get rather messy, so make sure your learners are aware of what they are doing so it does not get out of control. Keeping only a couple of trays of paint for learners to dip their palms into would definitely help with reducing the mess.
