If you’re looking for a simple and sweet Christmas craft to do with your kids, you’ll want to try making these Handprint Angels!
This craft is easy to do, makes an adorable keepsake, and is a great way to start a conversation with your kids about the Christmas story and the angels who announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.
You could also scale down the size of your angel to fit it onto half a piece of paper and make the perfect Christmas card for family or friends.
If you’re looking for more “Angel” themed crafts, snacks, activities, and a corresponding simple Bible lesson to do with your kids, check out this week’s Weekly Fun Plan: Angels We Have Heard On High.

Supplies:
Steps:
- First, select your preferred color of construction paper. Draw a large triangle outline to be the body of your angel.
- Next, create a simple face for your angel using another color of paper, cut out the face, and glue it to the top of your triangle.
- Using either white or yellow paint, make two handprints, one on either side of your triangle. These handprints will be the wings of your angel.
- Once your paint is dry, cover the triangle space with glue and paste on pieces of foil until the whole body area is covered.
- Next, glue some pieces of yarn to the top of your angel’s head for hair.
- Lastly, create an oval above your angel’s head with glue and sprinkle glitter over the glue to create a sparkly halo. After that, you’re done!
