DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Fingerprint Holly Craft

A finger and a bit of paint are all you need to make this super-cute holly.  It looks great as a gift tag or put a bunch together to make a wreath!

"I love the new finger print holly wreath idea. In fact I tried it with some older preschoolers today. I think you should mention that this would work great with a little bit older kids (like Kinder. and first graders) Even with me helping each child complete this project it was a little difficult for them to get it done. Still love this idea!!!! They did turn out very cute!!"

Materials:

  • red finger paint
  • green finger paint
  • scrap of cardboard or old margarine container lid (something to act as a pallet)
      
  • paper or card stock
      

Directions:

  • Squeeze a bit of red finger paint onto a margarine container lid  
      
  • Squeeze a bit of green finger paint onto the lid, spaced away from the red paint (or use a second lid)
     
  • stamp the pad of your index finger into the green paint
     
  • Use your finger to make 2 holly leaves at angles to each other
       
  • stamp the tip of your pinkie finger into the green paint
      
  • Use your pinkie finger to stamp a red berry beside where the holly leaves are closest
     


  

  • You can make a single holly or continue making holly in a circle to form a wreath.
