Are you ready for the Preschool Book Club to start back up! We were and could not wait to start doing book activities again. Today we are sharing on a classic back to school book the Kissing Hand. As long as this book has been around I must admit this year was the first time I read it. Such a great book for nervous kids starting school. We set out to make a print craft and I came up with a “token of love” to send with my kids to school.
Kissing Hand Book Craft and Activity
Kissing Hand Print Craft for Kids
What we used: black paint white and red paper Elmers new easy grip glue stick
I painted the boys hands. We pressed them down on white paper. I left them to dry a few hours. I looked all over for our red heart stickers and never found them. So I cut little red hearts out of paper.
Once the handprints were dry, the kids glued on the red paper hearts to the paper.
Now we had a picture just like out of the book. I just love how they turned out. Simple but wonderful. I will hang these up on our art wall for the kids to look at when school starts back.
Token of Love for Kids
What we used: wooden disc sharpies white paper
What to do: I put my husband to work on this project. He is better at drawing than I am. He used the white paper to try the design out first. Then he drew the heart in the hand on the disc with the sharpies.
Giving the kids a token of love to take with them was important to me. Last year little brother started a 3 half day a week preschool program. Everyday for a few weeks he had to take a plastic gold coin with him in his pocket to school. It made him feel better about going. I am not sure why this ordinary little coin from our play area was picked but it eased him on his school days. This year after reading the Kissing Hand I knew exactly what I would make for him (and big brother) for school this year. These Kissing Hand Tokens of Love were the perfect gift to give them for heading back to school.
