Activity: Fall Handprint Wreath

So I finally had time to look up some toddler activities today and was excited about all that I found! Tons for fall, so we got right to it today with this one: autumn hand print wreath.

Eli had so much fun having me trace his hand. He was all giggly like a little baby, haha!It took a little while for me to cut them all out, but Eli helped by picking which color I cut next for each hand. Now they're all done!The big pile waiting to be glued on.
Then I used a piece of paper that Eli had already colored on and cut a circle about the size of a whipped topping container. And Eli helped glue on each hand to make the wreath. Ta da!
In the middle I wrote "Eli Fall 2008" and now it's proudly displayed on our fridge.

The other activities I'm doing in the next couple weeks:
Apple prints
Scarecrow Paper Craft
Sunflower Paper Plate Craft
Autumn Tree Craft--I'm going to make this two parts the week of Thanksgiving. One day we'll make the tree and then another day we'll write on each leaf things that we're thankful for, like family, friends, house, etc.
