A tree made of hands, and every hand holds something to be thankful for. This set is three ways to build it: a trunk with handprint leaves, a trunk with handprints and hearts and acorns, and a painted handprint tree with a banner to write on. Colour them, cut them out, and let each child trace their own hand, write one thing they are grateful for, and stick it on the tree. By the end of the afternoon, the tree is full — and so is the room.
Handprint Leaves
Ages 3–6. Colour, cut along the dashed lines, and glue the handprint leaves onto the tree trunk. Younger children can trace their hand straight onto the page and colour it in; older children can cut out the handprint pieces and write one thing they are thankful for on each leaf. A glue stick and safety scissors are all it takes.
Handprint Tree Trunks
There are three tree trunks to choose from: one with handprint leaves, one with handprints, hearts and acorns, and a painted handprint tree with a banner to write on. Colour the trunk and the leaves, cut along the dashed lines, then glue the handprint leaves onto the tree.
How to print (A4 and US Letter)
Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter, 100% scale. Colour first, then cut along the dashed lines, then glue the handprint leaves onto the tree. Each tree is one page, so a classroom can print one per child — or print one tree per class and let every child add a handprint leaf to it.
