Handprint Angel Craft for Kids

Make this adorable handprint angel craft with your kids. Print the free template, color the angel, and add your child’s handprints as wings. This simple Christmas craft is perfect for classrooms, church groups, and holiday family fun.

I love simple Christmas crafts. And this handprint angel craft might be one of my favorites. Your kids use their own handprints to make the angel wings. That little personal touch always makes crafts extra special.

I recently made this angel with my kids, and it turned out adorable. They loved tracing their hands and choosing their own colors. My daughter went with bright yellow wings. My son chose light blue. Both turned out beautiful.

My favorite part was watching my kids carefully color the star. They both made it shine in different shades of yellow.

This craft is easy for kids. You just print the angel template, color it, and glue on the handprints for wings.

You can hang the finished angel on the fridge, use it as a Christmas decoration, or even give it as a handmade keepsake gift to friends and family. Grandparents especially love crafts with handprints.

This craft is also great for classrooms, church groups, or family nights at home. All you need are crayons, scissors, glue, and the template. And of course, those sweet little handprints.

I hope you enjoy making this angel as much as we did. It’s simple. It’s fun. And it’s full of Christmas joy.

How to Make the Handprint Angel Craft

Step 1: Print.
Print the free angel template. Link below.

Step 2: Color.
Color the parts of the angel using crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Tip: color the inside of the halo, the same color as the angel’s hair. This way you won’t have to cut out the center of the halo.

The parts of the angel craft colored with marker and cut out.

Step 3: Trace around the child’s handprint.
Trace each hand on a sheet of construction paper. These will become the angel wings.

Step 4: Cut.
Cut out the parts of the angel and both handprints.

Step 5: Glue together.
Glue the angel’s head onto the top of the body. Next, glue the halo above the head. Then, glue one handprint on each side of the angel’s body to make the wings.
