DIY sewing crafts for kids: Easy homemade handprint totebags for gift crafts

About 25 years ago our family began a tradition of making gift crafts for kids to give at holidays. Each year we made the grandmas, great-grandmas, aunts and godmothers homemade totebags with each child's handprint on it. Initially, I sewed the totebags and did kids handprint and footprints. Later, I taught the kids to sew and it became part of our Advent sewing crafts unit that we made for Christmas gift crafts. Younger kids did the handprint part and helped with easier parts of sewing crafts for kids. They wrote their names in permanent marker and labeled each of the handprint totebags with ages and date. Sewing crafts make excellent math lessons on measurement, fractions and decimals. We printed the hands and labeled with names and age.   DIY sewing crafts for kids: Easy homemade handprint totebags for gift crafts | Examiner.com
