Making The 2021 Collage Craft
Trace your little learner’s hand on a piece of tan cardstock, or let your child do the tracing.
Help your child cut out the hand.
Add gold glitter glue and the craft bits to small containers. Just collect any gold colored craft items you have around for the collaging.
Set out the gold bits, glue, glue paddle, and paper hand on a table.
Invite your little one to glam up the hand with the collage items, using the glitter glue as an adhesive.
Let the collaged hand dry.
Cut a number one and a pair of number two shapes from gold glitter cardstock or a gold gift bag. Download the printable further on in this post to use as a template if desired.
On cream-colored cardstock, help your little learner use a glue stick to tack on a number two, the decorated hand, another number two, and a number 1. Reinforce the shapes with a glue gun if needed. Add a greeting with a black or gold metallic felt pen.
The glitzy hand takes center stage in this craft.
