Materials: Construction paper, paint, ribbon, marker, glue, scissors optional glitter

Step 1: Cut a heart out of construction paper.  If your working with smaller children I recommend doing all the cutting as part as your prepping process.

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Cut a mitten out of construction paper.  If your a pro you can free hand a mitten, I myself am not a great drawer so I printed a mitten template from on-line and traced it.

Step 3: Have the children glue the mitten to the center of the heart.

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Paint the children’s hands and stamp them in the middle of the heart.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Write on the heart Cold Hand Warm Heart, however you like.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: Use glitter or other embellishments for a personalized touch.

Step 7: Poke a whole at the top to hang your ribbon.
