My daughter and I went shopping the other day and found that the Christmas decor was already in full force. She was wide-eyed and excited to see all of the holiday items displayed. “Look mama, Christmas.” We saw a pretty sparkly wreath in the store that caught her eye. She oohed and aahed over it.

I asked her if she would like to make her own sparkly wreath when we got home and of course she did.
Our visit with Santa over the weekend has definitely put us into the Christmas spirit early. I have to admit that one of the long list of reasons that I love the holiday season is there are so many fun crafts & activities. I am looking forward to baking gingerbread and making Christmas ornaments for our tree. I have a long list of things on our to-do list this winter. I cannot wait to share all of these marvelous things with our little girl.
Over the weekend we made hand prints. We have done them for crafts many times & now my daughter just likes to make them just because they are fun. I had a pile of them lying around & was about to toss them into the recycling, but as I hate to throw anything away, I needed to find a use for them.
Paper Plate & Hand print Wreath
What you will need:
Paper plate
Red & green Paint
Craft pom poms
Hand prints
Pipe cleaner or string
Glue
Directions:
Have your child dip their hands into red paint & press them onto a sheet of white paper. Let dry & then cut out the hand prints.
Cut out the inside of a paper plate around the first circle. Paint the ring green. Mai got daddy to join in on our project tonight too.
Let dry & attach hands with glue to form a bow.
Dab a bit of glue on your plate & add a colored pom pom. Continue this process around the whole wreath.
Use a hole puncher to poke a hole at the top of the wreath. Run a string or pipe cleaner through the hole & hang.
