Begin by painting your child’s hands with green paint using a brush or sponge. Press handprints onto the cardstock, using both light and dark green shades for variation. You’ll need around 16–20 handprints.
Once the paint is dry, cut out each handprint carefully, following the outlines closely.
Draw a large ring (about 14 inches in diameter) on the cardboard or poster board and cut it out to form the wreath base.
Arrange the handprints around the ring, overlapping them slightly so the fingers fan outward like leaves.
Glue each handprint securely, alternating shades of green to add depth.
Twist and shape the red tissue paper into a large bow, then glue or tape it at the top center of the wreath.
