FREE Christmas Handprint Calendar

Many moons ago I made handprint calendars with my class to send home for Christmas. They were a ton of work, copying/pasting to get the calendars on the right pages, and the handprints take some time. After leaving full day kindergarten and going into half day....I just knew I would never be able to manage 48 sets of handprints so I never even considered doing them again. 

Well this year was the year! 

Full day kinder and only 24 students....woohoo! 

In the last 12 years so much has changed when you create something new and when I set out to make these again they were super easy. I didn't have an original to look at so I had to find poems to go with each month but I think I have it pretty close to what we did back then. 
Even better? I thought printing them was going to be a mess but all I had to do was put them in the copier in order and copy 1 to 2 sided and they were perfect!  I had all twelve months done and copied in no time (copy on cardstock) 

Here is a peek at two of the handprints we did yesterday. I will share all of them once we get them done but that won't be until next week. I need to do 4 handprints a day to get them done on time. I may have to call in reinforcements! 

February....super simple, just two handprints to make a heart

March....a little more complicated. You need 3 colors to pull off the leprechaun look

They all turned out really cute! 

A simple little smile to complete the leprechaun.

Want to make one? Here you go! I added them to my TPT store today. Did I mention they are FREE? Seriously, if you are still in school this week you could get them done in no time! 

Want to pin this idea for later? Here you go!
