Servings: 1 craft
Cost: $3
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
Ingredients
- 3 pieces green construction paper
- 1 large popsicle stick, or several smaller ones.
- 1 glue stick
- 1 pen, pencil or marker
Instructions
- Start by tracing your child's hand onto a piece of green construction paper. If they're old enough they can do this themselves!
- Using scissors, (age-appropriate) cut out their handprint. Using that as a template, trace it 4 more times so you have 5 handprints total.
- Cut out all the handprints.
- Place one handprint and then align two horizontally and glue together, almost making a triangle. You want one with their fingers pointing forward or up, one pointing to the left, and one pointing to the right.
- Using your glue stick, glue the handprints together. Add another layer of handprints.
- Finally, turn the papers over and glue on a gluestick about halfway down. Make sure you'll be able to wave the leaves (handprints).
