Yesterday the children made these painted handprint Santas. I painted their fingers with white paint, part of their palm with skin tone paint, made a white line above that, put red on their thumb and white paint on their thumprint. Then, I helped them press their handprint onto a 1/2 sheet of green construction paper.
When the handprints were dry the children drew a face on their Santas. I had printed a Santa poem that they also glued to the paper. I found this cute idea at Little Giraffes.
