Items needed: Fabric Paint, Paintbrush, paper plates, 1/2 yard of white cotton fabric for tree, markers, scissors, fabric glue, 1 yard of fabric (white or colored for background)
 

Have your family members pick out their favorite colors of paint and spread a little of each color on a paper plate.  Working from the biggest hands to the littlest ones, have each person dip their hands in her chosen paint and print them on the cotton fabric, overlapping the handprints slightly as the group moves up the tree (practice on paper first).  Use a paintbrush to add a tree trunk, let all the paint dry and then identify each set of handprints with a permanent marker.
