Handprint Christmas Tree Craft

It's so exciting to make this adorable Christmas tree craft with multiple handprints along with the entire class. It a super engaging group activity for kids which they would love! Get ready for those messy little monsters to get their handprint everywhere!  

Materials Required:

  • kids paint
  • paintbrushes
  • white craft paper roll
  • Balloon

Start by painting the hand green and place the handprint on the top of the paper. Make more number of handprints in a row for a bigger tree.In the subsequent row the number of handprints keep reducing and eventual be left at two. This would give a triangular shape to the handprint design.  Let dry. 

Now turn the paper upside down, so the handprints are upside down looking like a Christmas tree.  Paint a hand yellow and make the start on the top. For trunk use a brown colored handprint. I used a slightly blown up balloon to bad the ornament son the tree,, it was too much fun! This can turn into a giant project which can be messy one.
