Instructions:
Trace your child's hands (right and left) on the green construction paper 4 times (a total of 8 hands) . Then carefully cut out the hands, your kids can help too.

If you have trouble getting the hands into a ring, you can get a paper plate and cut out the middle, then glue the hands to the ring formed by the paper plate.
