This simple handprint Christmas wreath is one Ben and I made a couple of years ago when he was just 2 and a half – it’s SO simple to make but really effective and we love to get it out again each Christmas! (And to marvel at how little his hands once were!)
What you will need
* Green paint (we used green finger paint but poster paint would be just as effective)
* Paper (we just used plain white printer paper as it was what we had to hand but you might want to use something a little thicker)
* Scissors
* Glue
* Laminator and laminating pouches – optional!
How to make a handprint Christmas wreath
1. Make LOTS of green hand prints & leave them to dry (don’t forget to have a damp facecloth or some wet wipes ready to clean up those green hands!)

2. Let Mummy cut out all the hand prints
3. Laminate the hand prints so it will really last! (This is of course optional but I do love the laminator)
4. Arrange the hand prints into a wreath shape and glue them carefully in place (we used Power Pritt for this as laminated paper doesn’t always glue well)
5. Add a pretty red ribbon in a nice big bow

This takes pride of place each year on the door in the living room – Ben loved getting it out last year and seeing how his hands had grown!
