Fall Handprint Wreath for Kids
This easy craft makes for a fun activity or special keepsake. Using kids' handprints as leaves and by glueing them onto a paper plate they can make a colorful fall wreath.
Servings: 1 wreath
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
Ingredients
- 1 paper plate
- 5 pieces construction paper or cardstock
- 1 gluestick
- 1 pencil or crayon to trace handprint
- tissue paper squares optional
- paint marker or marker optional
Instructions
- This is optional- but I started by painting my wreath brown with a paint stick. This makes it so if there are any gaps showing you don't see the white paper plate. If you're wanting this to be a faster craft you can use markers, crayons or colored pencils. Cut out the center of the paper plate.
- While the paint dries, (or before) make the handprints by tracing the child's hand onto construction paper. You'll need 12-15 handprints depending on the size. You can either trace it multiple times on different colors, or trace it once and use that as a template for the rest. This is a great way to let kids work on tracing too! Decorate the details of the leaves with crayons or markers.
- Start to glue on the tissue paper squares if using, or start glueing the handprints onto the plate. Alternate colors or do a color blocked look- the kid will have fun deciding on this part!
- Allow time to dry completely, then display!
