This angel template printable is free to print but is for personal and classroom use only. Scroll to the bottom of the post and add your email address to get the pdf file.

You can of course print this on normal printer paper, but with all of our crafts, they always look better on cardstock.

Grab the supplies above and get creating!

Let the kids decide what color handprints they want to use. We have decided to use a light blue for the angel’s wings.

Use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of paint to their hand. Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Cover their hands with paint and place each hand facing toward the bottom corners of the page with their palms on either side of the angel’s body.

Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull the child’s hand up carefully, ensuring you don’t smudge the handprints.

Let it dry completely before coloring the angel.
