Make A Handprint Keychain or Bookmark

This simple project can be done with any age kids as the hands will be reduced in a copier. Can be done with one child or a handful.

Use recycled materials, trace hand onto recycled paper or cardboard, reduce in a copier, then finish this great craft: Paint it. Decorate it. Laminate it. One hand for each of Dad's treasured kids.

How To Make A Handprint Keychain

Tools Needed To Make This Keychain:

Paper (recycled of course-use the other side of school work!)
Keyring
Laminator
Markers or Crayons
Hole Puncher

Directions: recycle!

*Important: make sure you help small children use any sharp objects you use to make the holes or predrill for them!

Have kids trace their hands on paper
Then color it in with any design
Photocopy the final hand drawings at a smaller size (50% or whatever you want)
Put it through the laminator (or bring to a copy center and have them laminate it)
Cut around the laminated hand
Punch holes in one corner
String on keychain
You're done!
