DLTK's Holiday Activities
Handprint Christmas Tree Craft

Trace the child's hands many times (at least 10) on green paper/craft foam.  Alternatively you could make green paint handprints on paper (it's fun to let the paint squish between your fingers when you're two!).
  

Cut out the handprints and glue them together with fingertips facing down to form a tree shape (see picture above).
  

Glue a brown rectangle trunk (can use the one in the template or make your own).
  

Decorate with stickers or the template ornaments provided.  The templates look nice when highlighted/coloured in with sparkle glue.
  

You can also add the child's name and the year.
  

Add a string if you wish to hang on the tree.
  

You can use LOTS of handprints to make a tree big enough to hang on the door.
  

You could glue a picture of the child in the center of the tree for a keepsake and ornament combo.
  

You can also use it as a lovely personalized gift tag guaranteed to make the grandparents smile *grin*
  
  

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).
