Christmas Fingerprint Tree
Looking for an easy Christmas craft to do with your preschooler? With minimal prep and minimal supplies needed this is a fun and easy Christmas activity. My preschooler has been begging me daily to paint…so I figured why not use our fingerprints to create a fun holiday and festive picture! These could be used as a Christmas card that kids could make or a nice framed print to be gifted. There are so many great ideas that you could use this Christmas activity for.
Supplies needed for a Christmas Fingerprint Tree
- Card stock or Construction Paper
- Acrylic Paints
- Pencil
- Paper Plate
- Black Marker
How to make a Christmas Fingerprint Tree
- Using the pencil outline a simple Christmas tree onto the card stock or construction paper, whichever you choose to use.
- Place a small amount of green acrylic paint onto a paper plate or paint dish and let your preschooler dip their finger in to paint.
- Let the green tree dry.
- Once the tree is dry, use the black marker to create the string of lights.
- Next let the child choose what color paints they want to use to create lights on the black “string”.
- Using their finger create fingerprints for the Christmas tree lights.
Let it dry.
It really is that simple!
