Fingerpaint ideas! for 3 year olds?

LP

I need to do a cute and unique fingerpaint idea for my 3 year olds. We are having them printed for christmas gifts, and i want something creative! help please!

Answer
Bummer it's for x-mas. :-) We did a really cute Thanksgiving project...we fingerpainted a brown turkey body. Then we painted feet and printed them different colors and when dry cut out and placed behind the body. Then we added a picture of the child onto the body of the turkey. Glued it to a contrasting color. Some of the parents even framed theirs! LOL You can keep that idea for the future. :-)

Okay...so x-mas. Let them finger paint with green and maybe white paint. Then trace their hands and cut out. Make into a xmas tree. Another time you can let them finger paint yellow/gold on a mat/pan and then print onto a star. (Very neat...printing fingerpainting work). You may wish to add gold glitter.

You can also make those hands into a wreath instead.

You can provide red and white or green and white fingerpaint and let them do two papers and make a picture frame.

You could have them paint a small box and then fingerpaint/print their hands in a heart shape on top. Inside the box you could put "ornaments" that the child has made.

A Mailbox Idead: Have them make candy canes- you can have them fingerpaint a sheet red and then cut it into long strips and let them practice their own cutting. Then provide them 2 white candy cane shape and they glue the the red "stripes" on. Then glue on to the front of a card or onto it's own paper (green is a nice contrasting color) in the shape of a heart. Put their picture inside. Here's the poem they suggested.
Two striped candy canes,
As simple as can be,
Together make a heart
That sends love to you and me.

Good luck. Sorry I don't have more ideas. We don't do a lot with the holidays so I tend to not "collect" holiday ideas. :-)

-`color crayons
-makeup/drees up items (tiaras,jewelry,shoes, cell phone, etc)
-coloring books
-stickers
-her fave candy/treats
-a shirt of one of her fave character
-a gift card
-a cd (like kids bop)
-bubbles ( kids loooooovve bubbles)
-bubble bath
-small toys (cars, jump ropes)
-teddy
-a childrens book
-a small puzzle
-school supplies (kids safe scissors,watercolors,construction paper, glue, pencils, chalk, playdough)
