I cut out a tree shape with the brown cardstock and glued it to the center of the white sketch/paint paper, leaving lots of room at the top of the tree for the little handprints. I selected five different colours of paint so that each child would have some choice as to which colour they wanted to use. (In reality it was mum choosing at this point!)
The results were awesome, and after the handprints were all done I wrote each boys name over their hands so that we could all remember whose was whose and keep track of which friends were over that day. We're going to frame ours and hang it up in our play space and later it will get added to the boy-o's memory book as a cool keepsake of our first group playdate at our house! The next time we host I think we're doing to dive into some MAGIC MUD.

What's your favourite sensory activity to share during playdates?
That is so cute! It would be a great project for my Girl Scout troop. Pinned it to save it for later!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a fantastic Girl Scout project! I miss guiding so much sometimes... I was in it from Brownies right up to Rangers. I hope the girls enjoy it! You could even do different seasons with it, and have some trees with no handprints, some with only a couple of handprints, and then some with overflowing handprints.
DeleteThese are the cutest t-shirts! They would make great gifts for birthdays, holidays... Also, for a family reunion activity with the youth too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Jewel! These ones are just done on sketch/paint paper, but you if you had fabric paint you could try it out on a t-shirt. They really do make a great gift though, especially if you frame them up!
