When my son was in kindergarten, he brought home a really cute wreath that they made in school. They glued puzzle pieces (layered) onto cardboard cut out the shape of a wreath, then spray painted it a nice gold color. They glued a pretty ribbon at the top and that was it. Very simple but beautiful. After six years, it still comes out every year to be hung.

I have also seen where the students trace their hands on red and green construction paper, cut them out and glue them in the shape of wreaths. I think this is a very cute idea for them to take home for their parents.

I really like the puzzle wreath idea! We did that with a picture frame. My dd did the hand wreath! We still hang it up every year for xmas.

I love pulling out all of the Christmas decorations from years past. I see all of the old projects that the kids had made from school and it's cute to see their handwriting improve over the years.

I have seen some of the Hand Christmas Trees. It looks really cool and the kids love doing it!

Something my mother has kept forever is a "Hand" Christmas tree that I made way back in preschool. It was maybe six or seven of my hand prints in the shape of a tree. We used finger paint for the tree, and later added colored bulbs of paint and a star to top it off. It was also made on a white burlap kind of material. This is something I'll be seeing every year at mom's house for christmas.
