Easy handprint Christmas wreath for kids

Remember the scented Christmas paints we used to make our homemade Advent calendar? We couldn’t resist getting our hands in!

 

We used a roll of brown paper to stamp out lots of colourful handprints. The whole family joined in, all except for the cat ~ although my daughter was quite keen on that!

   

Then we cut them out, so we had lots of prints in a variety of sizes from little sister right the way through to daddy-size.  

 

 

To make our Christmas wreath, we drew round a dinner plate on some card, then drew round a side plate in the centre, to give us our ring.  

 

 

We covered the cardboard ring in glue and started to place the handprints on.  

 

 

 

You can use a variety of colours, or stick with red and white.

 

Be as random or as meticulous with your pattern as you like.

 

You might like to use the adult-sized handprints around the outer edge, then fill in the centre with some over-lapping child-sized prints.  

 

 

We filled the whole circle, added a ribbon at the back, and our easy handprint Christmas wreath is ready to hang.
