We’re back with another craft from our friend Liam. Using handprints and footprints is the perfect way to get the babies in your daycare or childcare center involved in some cute crafting. This handprint tree is a great example of that!
For this craft, start by cutting a tree trunk out of brown construction paper and apples out of red construction paper. You will want to cut enough apples to represent each student’s family.
You can then start creating your tree by gluing your trunk into place. Next, paint one of your student’s hands green and stamp it around the top of the trunk to create the look of full branches.
While you are waiting for the paint to dry, write the names of the student and their family members onto the apples. When dry, you can glue each apple into place.
For older students, allow them to cut out the stumps and apples by themselves or from tracings you have prepared for them. They can also add on the names for their family members!
