Hand Print Christmas Tree & Decorations
by Mandy Ferry
Starting the stamping process
Our craft activity is great fun for younger children. There are two parts to this activity, firstly: THE CHRISTMAS TREE Supplies: 1 x large piece of white cardboard 1 x small piece of brown card / paper Green paint A paint brush Scissors Sticky tape or blue tack And of course some little hands! Instructions: Use the brush to paint hands ensuring there is enough paint coverage to complete hand prints on cardboard Stamp hands on cardboard, starting from the bottom of the card, do a few prints in a row, then work your way up reducing the number of hand prints creating a Christmas Tree Shape. Once dry cut around the tree. We stuck ours to our sliding door using blue tack, then cut out a stem from the brown paper. DECORATIONS Supplies: This really is entirely up to you. We used the internet to find cutouts of Christmas Baubles and Christmas Belles We used the internet to find colour in images of candy canes and ginger bread men. Coloured card Glitter Glue Scissors Christmas Stickers (to decorate) Photos Laminating sheets and Laminator Instructions: Basically the kids coloured in the candy canes and ginger bread men and then we laminated them and the stuck them to the tree. For the bauble and bells, I traced the image onto coloured card and cut them out. We cut out a photo of each of my three children and we glued them to the shapes. They stuck Christmas stickers around and then deocrated further by placing glue down and then sprinkling glitter on top. Following this we laminated them and again they stuck them to the tree. Reply Wow! Mandy thank you so much. What a wonderful entry into the competition. The children have done a fantastic job. Good luck this year! Cheers, Nannie CanDo
