Handprint Wreath – Day 40 Toddler Play Challenge

December 10, 2013 by Emma Edwards Leave a Comment

I do solemnly swear that I will never again make Adam do another art project that involves a finished project (until he is older). It is just not as much fun!

This was another activity I have done over the years with my class – but usually making a whole class one. Making one with a toddler is a different ball game – especially as I needed at least 8 decent handprints from him – a boy who hates getting his hands dirty! Then add on top of that trying to take a photograph of it!

I only needed 2 red handprints for the holly and the rest green to represent the ivy. I cut a wide circle rim out of cardboard whilst waiting for the handprints to dry. Once each handprint was cut out I attached a small amount of double sided sellotape to each one. Then came another tricky part – getting Adam to pick the handprints up and place them the correct way up on the cardboard circle. A little bit of Mummy creative licence was needed to complete the activity.

Adam was pleased with the end product though and proudly showed it to Dad-dad when he got home.

 

Equipment:

* Paper

* Green and red paint

* Paintbrush

* Ribbon

* Cardboard

* Double sided sellotape

 

Adam was 19 months old.
