DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Basketball Handprint
Wreath
This is a simple cut and paste paper craft that even the youngest
children can contribute too. It's fun to make with the entire
family or team each contributing handprints.
Materials:
- a printer,
- paper,
- glue,
- scissors,
- paint or construction paper in your favorite team's colours.
Instructions:
- There are two ways to do this craft. One is to trace the child's hand onto paper and cut out the prints. The second is to make paint handprints on the paper and cut those out.
- Make eight handprints (4 of each colour). (or more if you're feeling energetic)
- Cut out the prints and glue to form a wreath.
- You can decorate the wreath further with pictures (like
basketballs or basketball players). These can be:
- stickers!
- hand drawn artwork by the children,
- pictures from colouring books, magazines or fliers
- or use the templates I've attached below
