It is almost time to wish 2024 goodbye and welcome in 2025. Which can only mean —
It’s handprint calendar time again! Download your own handprint calendar that you can enjoy all year! It’s recommended to print your calendar on cardstock for the best results. You will want something sturdy to support all of your amazing creations. Having your kiddo dress in clothes that you don’t mind getting messy or stained is also a good idea.
What you’ll need:
- Paint or a non-toxic stamp pad
- Crayons or markers
- Wet wipes or towels to help with cleaning up
Not only does the paint have to dry, but sometimes the kiddos (and us adults, let’s be honest here😅) run out of steam as well. This project may take multiple sessions, and that is alright! When the paint does dry and it’s time for a second round, you can take markers or crayons to add flair to your calendar. You can use buttons or googly 👀 to make faces on your handprints. The ideas are endless. Be as creative as you’d like!
Here are some guidelines if you would like ideas to get started. How you would like your 2025 handprint calendar to look is completely up to you!

No matter how you create your calendar, you will have memories to reflect on year after year. Happy 2025! ✨🎉
