This is an easy, easy craft that uses stuff you most likely have on hand today.
Small children love to trace their hands and make hand prints.
Dip their hands in green paint and press onto paper several times to to make a tree or a wreath. {For my 14 month old I used his feet.} For the tree I had my son press one index finger at the top for the point of the tree. Let it dry and then decorate.
For less mess and supplies trace their hands in the shape of a wreath or tree and have them cut it out if they are old enough to be handy with scissors. Then color to decorate or glue stuff on (fabric scraps, paper scraps, if you want to or if you have stuff).
Tips...if you are doing a wreath, 12x12 scrapbook paper works best. I also used a piece of paper a little longer than 8 1/2 x 11 for the tree to give my 4 year old plenty of room to create.
Hands-down so easy! ;} Have fun!
