Directions
Paint one hand of your child’s yellow; the other hand, red. Invite your child to press his hands onto a piece of light brown construction paper. Paint one hand orange and press it onto the construction paper. Once the paint has dried, invite your child to cut or tear dark brown paper into strips to resemble logs. Glue them under the “fire” handprints. For added fun, stick a wooden skewer through a cotton ball and tape it to the paper. Display.
