Creating the Magnet

Begin with the sheet of craft foam and a pen, tracing your child's hand print onto the foam.

Use scissors to cut out the hand print shape.

Bend and glue the middle/ring fingers to the palm of the hand shape in the global sign for "I love you".

Add scrapbook paper hearts, stickers, and/or other embellishments, as well as the name of the recipient! (So that it reads, "I love you, Mom", etc.) As a last step (not pictured), add a piece of magnet tape to the back of the hand print to create a magnet for the fridge!

Voila! A fun and festive gift that's simple to create and is sure to be cherished by parents and grandparents alike!
