Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to add classical music to your classroom or homeschool? Classical music has been shown to provide numerous benefits for children, including reducing stress, improving focus and concentration, and increasing creativity. These activities are great for music appreciation and also help build social-emotional skills! Each activity is easy to set up (no glue required!) and a great way to engage students for the New Year in January.

Listening Buddies sheets feature a piece of classical music with the composer’s name. While the music plays, students draw a scene in the box inspired by the music. They can also explore the feelings and mood of a piece by choosing meaningful keywords that match their listening experience. Students color the listening buddy at the top of the page or you can print the color version.

There are no wrong answers, and no musical training is required. Just print and play! Music is available on YouTube or your preferred streaming service.

This cute and simple new year's handprint art activity is such a fun and hands-on experience for kindergarteners and preschoolers.

Creating art pages using handprints is a great way for learners to express their creativity and imagination with this simple handprint art craft activity. Since learners will have to deal with the paint directly this is a great sensory activity for learners as well, as they explore the texture of the paint with their senses while doing the activity.

How can learners benefit from this activity?

- Fun and hands-on.

- Allows learners to express their creativity in a fun way.

- Gives learners a lot of freedom, great for learners who like open ended exploration and activities.

- Great sensory activity for learners to explore and get used to the texture and feeling of the paint.

What does this printable include?

This printable includes 2 versions of this new year handprint art activity!

- Blank pages: where learners will place their handprints to create their art piece.

- Completed versions: which can be used to give learners an idea of what they need.

How do learners do this new year's craft activity?

- Print out the pages you'd like learners to do for this activity.

- Provide learners with paint, you can get learners to paint their own hands with paint. Alternatively, provide learners with trays of 1 to 2 colors filled with a thin layer of paint, they will dip their palms into the paint.

- Learners will then place their palms onto the page to stamp their handprint and create their new year's handprint project.

- Leave the pages up to dry completely before giving it back to your learners.

This is a fun activity, but can get rather messy, so make sure your learners are aware of what they are doing so it does not get out of control. Keeping only a couple of trays of paint for learners to dip their palms into would definitely help with reducing the mess.

I hope your learners love and have fun with this New Year's Handprints Art Activity as much as my learners loved it! If so, please do let me know by leaving a review below!
