Dying coffee filter paper is one of Wugs' favourite activities and the process of watching the colours bleeding into each other is always amazing. Please refer to my post here on how we do this. For today's activity I let Wugs go wild, dying as many coffee filter papers as he wished. Whilst they were drying out, I drew around Wugs' and Dooey's hands onto card, cut them out and used them as templates for drawing and cutting out the hand outlines on the coffee filter paper. As I wanted to preserve the hand wreath, I laminated the coffee filter paper, cut around it and arranged it into a circle before gluing the edge of each of the laminated hand outlines to the next. The wreath now brightens up a rather dull area of our lounge and as it's not Christmas-themed, I can keep it there the whole year round if I wish to.
What we used:
Coffee filter paper (large enough to draw around the child's hand)
Washable markers
Laminator
Laminating sheets
Glue
Hole punch
String
