We made play-doh together and then made handprints of his hands and put the date on them. We let them dry for a few days. They were supposed to hang on the tree but they were a little heavy so the grandparents just put them on the mantle.
A similar idea is to outline her hands on cardboard or paper and cut out a hole where the palm is. You can let her color and decorate the fingers with sparkles or stickers and then paste a small photo of her in the palm hole. Put a small hole in the top and string a ribbon through it and they can use it as a tree decoration.

Fingerpainting is great...or use an old baking pan (one you dont care about).....put paper (construction is best) in the bottom, put a dollop of elmers glue in the center....let your daughter take a small ball, marble, rock and roll the pan in different directions....then take glitter of different colors and sprinkle in on the glue. My grandson did this about 3 years ago at daycare...and I still have it hanging on my fridge. There is alot of things you can do with the glue and glitter... pine cones are a good one, then attach a ribbon and they can hang it from there Christmas tree forever. Good Luck !!!
Happy Thanksgiving !!! and Merry Christmas !!!

One year I made ornaments with my childrens hand print on them. I got a clear glass ball from Michaels.. White paint.or what ever you like. This project you will have to help of course. Place hand in white paint then onto ball.. Let dry add some tinsel inside ball and your done. Don't forget to date it.

Cut the center out of paper plates have her glue[ the non-toxic type] fruit loops on it [ the red and green ones] on it presto a christmas wreath! If she eats the fruit loops more the fun!

gingerbread man ornaments. she should be able to help with the dough and cookie cutter. decorating should be a hoot!
I traced my sons hand last year over and over and over... and made a paper wreath out of his handprints.
Have fun!
