The Free Kids Crafts Team is excited to kick off the year with a fun Handprint New Year’s Resolution craft! Instead of a long list, why not start by helping Mom and Dad with little things, like happily doing your homework and chores? Let’s make it a great year!

Trivia:

The ancient Babylonians are said to have been the first people to make New Year’s resolutions, some 4,000 years ago. They were also the first to hold recorded celebrations in honor of the new year—though for them the year began not in January but in mid-March, when the crops were planted.
