Autumn Handprint Wreath

I was looking for an activity to do with my grandson to keep him entertained this weekend and came across this one by DLTK.com. I think I may have found the perfect age appropriate activity. It's one that is sure to be a hit.


Materials needed:
  • glue
  • scissors
  • yellow, orange, and red construction paper.

Directions:

There are two ways to do this craft.

  1. Ttrace the child's hand onto paper and cut out the prints


  2. OR


  3. Make paint handprints on the paper and cut those out.

Make nine handprints (3 of each color). Cut out the prints and glue to form a wreath.


You can decorate the wreath further with pictures (like leaves, pumpkins or corn, or candy corn). Some of these decorations can be stickers, hand drawn artwork by the children, pictures from coloring books or magazines.
