Jewish Handprint Wreath

I love handprint crafts! I save each one in a special binder and peek at them every so often. It's fun to compare and see how they've grown. 
Jewish handprint wreath craft

Materials:

bulletglue, 
bulletscissors
bulletwhite and blue paint or construction paper.

Instructions:

bulletThere 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.  
 
bulletMake eight handprints (2 of each colour). You can relate these to the 8 days of Hanukkah.
 
bulletCut out the prints and glue to form a wreath. 
 
bulletYou can decorate the wreath further with pictures (like stars of david or dreidels).  These can be:
