Wooden Hands (12 Pack)

Wooden Hands are smooth, unfinished wood hand shapes that kids can paint, color, and personalize to create meaningful crafts for kindness projects, classroom displays, and creative group activities.

A Simple Craft Base That Turns Into Meaningful Artwork

These wooden hand shapes are one of those “always useful” craft basics because they work with almost any theme. Kids can paint them in bright colors, add names, write messages, or turn them into thoughtful projects that feel personal and display-worthy.

They’re especially great for kindness crafts, gratitude projects, and teamwork lessons because the hand shape naturally connects to helping, sharing, and community. Plus, since they’re flat and lightweight, they dry quickly and are easy to hang on bulletin boards, doors, walls, and classroom displays.
