- Trace your hand at least 10 times on the red sheets of construction paper
- Trace your hand at least 10 times on the green sheets of construction paper
- Draw a small circle about the size of a quarter on the white sheet of construction paper
- Cut out all the handprints, and cut out the small white circle
- Glue a circle of green handprints around the outside edge of your
paper plate (fingers pointing out). These are your poinsettia “leaves.”
- Glue a circle of red handprints around the inside of your paper
plate (fingers pointing out). Make sure the fingers land just inside
the green ones. These are your poinsettia “petals.”
- Glue the white circle in the middle of your flower.
(Optional: You can make your leaves,
petals, and flower center any color you want! Try yellow or even white
poinsettias! They’re all beautiful!)
- When the glue dries, write a special love message on the
back of your paper plate and give it to someone you love. It will be so
much fun to see their expression!
