Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
 |
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on a Handprint Animals journey. We never set out to do “all animals”. But Red Ted Really got “into” animals and so animals it was (though alien may be a little cheat). It has been great fun.
{If you LOVE crafts and you want to keep up to date… I would LOVE YOU to subscribe to e-mail notifications and come and to join me on Facebook !}
I thought it would be nice to bring all the handprint animals together visually in one place. Much easier for you (and us) to browse and have a go.
You most probably do not want to do ALL the handprint animals (it did take us 6 months!!!), but maybe you would like to do your child’s name in handprint letters? Wouldn’t that look nice on a canvas? They would look lovely in a child’s room or as a presents for Granny and Grandpa?
And here they are… all together for you to browse! I hope you like them!
(Just click on the images for “more” info and larger photos!)
So.. that is it from us!! I do hope you enjoyed the Handprint Animals as much as we did. We had such fun coming up with a new one each week. An it has been a great way for us to reinforce the alphabet with my preschooler!
