St. Patrick's Day Handprint Wreath

I love handprint crafts! I save each one in a special binder and peek at them every so often. It's fun to compare and see how they've grown. 

Saint Patrick's Day handprint wreath

Materials you will need for this wreath are glue, scissors, and green colours of  paint or construction paper.
