Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

The pandemic has caused many of us to reconsider our days at home. While we were glad to have a breather from the usual hustle and bustle, it does not take long to become bored. Fortunately, there are a number of arts and crafts projects for us to dig into. If you are anything like us, you have children of your own and you have found yourself wondering how to keep them entertained.

After all, there are only so many times that we can break out the rainy day board games. If you have already tried all of the recipes that you can think of, this is your chance to broaden your horizons. We have been making the most of our time indoors with various arts and crafts days and now we are here to pass along one of our favorite projects.

These keepsakes are growing in popularity and it is easy to see why.

All you need to do enjoy a fun family-friendly craft and come out with a treasured keepsake is trace over the hand of every person in the family. Once you have cut out the paper and pasted them to your chosen backdrop, you have a keepsake that will look great anywhere in the house.

These also make for a great gift if you are looking to send something special to an extended family member.

We are always going to look back on 2020 as a moment when we got the chance to do all sorts of cool projects with our loved ones. Sure, this may not have been the year that most of us were hoping for, but we made do regardless. Enjoy this craft and the keepsake it creates!
