A fun decoration for kids to make, this wreath made out of handprints symbolizes the principles of unity and self-determination. Using red, green and black, the traditional colors of Kwanzaa, lets the wreath fit right in with the rest of your holiday décor.
Preparation
- Materials Needed:
- Brightly colored construction paper or cardboard.
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Markers
- Stickers
- Glitter
- Glue
- Photos
Steps
- On the construction paper, trace your hands and the hands of your grandchildren with pencil.
- Cut out the handprints.
- Each person writes something on the back of his or her own handprint. Ideas include: the joy of being with family, special moments from the past year, milestones reached, goals for the upcoming year, or dreams for the future. Help little ones who can’t write by letting them dictate to you what their handprint should say.
- Decorate the other side of the handprints with stickers, markers, glitter, photos, or any memorabilia from the year that is ending.
- Paste each handprint together in a circular form to create a wreath-like wall hanging.
- Hang prominently from a string so both sides of the wreath can be seen.
