Directions to Make Fingerprint Christmas Trees

Using a ruler, draw out a tall triangle lightly in pencil. My base is 4.25″ and the height was 7″. It was centered on the page. I would have made you a printable, but you want it drawn really light so that fingerprints cover the edges well. It would not have printed out light enough.
Kids will begin doing their fingerprints. We learned the hard way that this can become smeared if working form the bottom to the top. Therefore, turn the paper upside-down so that the triangle looks upside-down. If you do this, you won’t have such a hard time with smearing, and the fingerprints will layer nicely. Just start at the top of page once it is turned upside-down.
Keep working, one row at a time until the entire triangle is full. Overlapping fingerprints a bit is great.
Using colored pencils, draw in a trunk and star.
Add dots of white glue with sequins on top. Let dry.

Your Christmas tree can be displayed throughout the season, made into a card for a gift and saved as a keepsake to be able to see your child’s fingerprints for years to come.
