This sweet and simple craft is one of our favorite things to make around Christmas time. My little ones love tracing their hands and this craft takes about 20 minutes, perfect for short attention spans.
You will need:
- red and green construction paper
- a pencil
- scissors
- tape or glue
- a large paper plate
Trace your child’s hands over and over again. I ended needed 7 of each color. If your child is smaller, you might need more.
Cut out all of the hands.
Cut out the center of the paper plate. I really like to use a sturdy plate, it helps the wreath hold up so much better.
Tape or glue your hands around the wreath. overlapping a little on each hand. I alternated the colors, but you can go with whatever pattern you want.
Hang on the fridge or door for all to see! Have you ever made one of these with your kids?
This is so creative I love the joining of hands on the wreath showing diversity
How cute!! What a fun activity to do with kids!
How fun! My daughter would love this! She loves cutting out shapes. 🙂 LifeAsLex
This is my favorite holiday craft for kids! We do one every year.
What a fun idea! I think I'll make one with my boy this weekend!
Great idea!
This is so cute! My girls will have loads of fun doing this.
I recently made a similar thanksgiving-inspired wreath with my two-year old and we had so much fun. I love his idea because it's perfect year round.
this is such a great little craft to do with the kids! looks like they had fun!
I think I have a hand wreath from all of my kids. They're a fun craft to do with our kids, and for me, they became keepsakes. I can't wait until I can do the same with my grandkids one day.
Omg my daughter and I made one of these last year!!! It was so fun and cute to make!
This was my favorite craft when my daughter was little. Yours is sooo cute!
This is super cute! I once made a similar one using the handprints of my students. It was much bigger but turned out super cute!
This looks so cute, and yet festive! Seems like a nice twist on the thanksgiving turkey hands I've seen this week.
What a great craft to do with the kids. I love this ide. Will make with my niece
This is so cute, and a craft even I could handle 🙂 We have a lot of rain coming our way in the next couple of days – pinning for indoor activities!
I can't wait to start making crafts like this with my daughter. I think I have to wait because she's only 4 months, but I want to try to do footprint ornaments this year!
Oh cool! I need to remember this for my schools classroom doors! We're decorating this week!
