This Helping Hands Christmas Garland is a fantastic project to do with your kids or grandkids. Gathering a lot of things to use to decorate them can really bring out their creativity. Another way to do it is to cut the ribbon long enough to add a new set of handprints for each child every year, and they can see how their hands have grown over the years. Like marking their heights on a door frame.

Wonderful to use your handprint to make a pretty garland that hangs around the house on the holidays. This is a very personal decoration that most kids will be proud of. They will love to see others oogling over their garland they made.
