Celebrate the solar eclipse with your kids with this fun Solar Eclipse Craft! Make a handprint art to remember this rare occurrence!
The solar eclipse will pass through the United States on April 8, 2024, marking the second time in the 21st century such an occurrence has happened. The last such solar eclipse was on 2017! We were lucky enough to have the kids witness the 2017 solar eclipse and feel extremely excited we will get to watch another one together!
I know this may be your kids’ first galactic experience so I created a cute Solar Eclipse Handprint craft to remember this momentous event in history! Millions will be watching and my kids will be in school watching as a special school event as well.
This solar eclipse craft is so easy to make and all it takes is our printable and a few minutes! Save this handprint craft in the memory box archives for your kids to tell them kids when they are older! I am sure they will love remembering this special day.
