My grandson made this Handprint Christmas Wreath at school. It is such a cute idea that I decided to share it with you. The picture was done on a 14x14 stretch canvas board. It could also be done on a flat panel board. This size might be a little difficult to find, but it is worth the search because it is the perfect size for a 6-year-old's handprint.
I’m not exactly sure what type of paint was used. My grandson, remember he’s only 6, said it was in a tube and washable. It sounds like it was acrylic paint. They used green for the handprints and red for the berries. My grandson tried to explain that they used a paintbrush with a circle at the end. I’m sure any circular form would work. I would probably use a sponge cut into a circle, or a cotton ball.
The bow looks like a ribbon that was tied into a bow and then hot glued on. I’m sure you could find pre-made bows if you wanted to save time and go for a fancier look.
I hope that you enjoy this craft idea as much as I do.
If you are looking for another Christmas gift idea that students can make for their families, I have a couple that you might like.
My go-to Christmas gift is a Poinsettia Vase. I usually try to buy the small vases during Thanksgiving break. If I'm lucky I can find them all in one shot, but sometimes I have to shop around. Michael's and Walmart are my best bet.
The directions for this project are a Freebie on my TPT Store. I've included the link if you are interested.
Occasionally, I have a parent helper that has already received the vase because I had a sibling in my class a previous year. When that happens I have to think of a new gift idea, but I love the poinsettias. My second option is a calendar. It is a really nice gift but takes more work.
The directions for this project are also a Freebie. Again, I have provided the link for you.
The fun and wonderful thing about student-made gifts are that they are always special no matter what the gift is.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
