Handprints
Today we came back to a v simple but rather lovely handprint craft: the ladybird!! Pip Squeak was delighted. Red Ted, ahem, liked the red bit.. he actually wanted a lion. But we did a lion some moons ago, so, this mummy, fancied something different. Do take a peak though at our handprint lion!!! This [...]
Just a quick post today… as being a busy busy beeeee… we are onto K for….. KINGFISHER. We tried doing a K for Kangaroo with a baby Joey. But we failed miserably. It just didn’t look like a kangaroo.. so we went back to the drawing board and came up with a KINGFISHER. I let [...]
Welcome back to the handprint alphabet series. Today we looked at “J” for…. Jellyfish. We settled on jellyfish pretty quickly and I was relieved not to have to figure out how to do a handprint jaguar….. We had great fun doing the jellyfish! For the handprint jellyfish, we left the thumb “clean” and only painted [...]
This we decided to make an “I for Impala” in our Handprint Alphabet series. Funny how we came back from holiday and Red Ted was eager to have another handprint session go…. he really is loving doing these. We discussed what different things start with I before we settled in “Impala”. I showed him a [...]
The Handprint Alphabet continues and this week we come to H. H prooved a little of a conundrum – H for House? H for Hare (but surely a child will always “see” a Bunny or Rabbit making it confusing)? H for Hand (haha that would have been a nice cheat, if a little boring). H [...]
Red Ted had a special request for this one – a handprint GORILLA! Yikes. How do we do a handprint gorilla – now there is a challenge and a half! I think Red Ted now thinks we can make ANYTHING out of handprints. Bless him. Maybe we can… so long as we try? What do [...]
And the handprint alphabet series continues! Only another 20 letters to go (what was I thinking?!) – but – the children are VERY happy and they are really enjoying all the print making. Today, I overheard Red Ted and Pip Squeak discussing how they could make other animals from their handprints – “This could be [...]
Now, this is a very special handprint craft letter – the letter E for Elephant! Why, is this so special, I hear you ask? Well.. I saw the gorgeous Cheshire Mum do this exact same handprint elephant a few weeks ago and it was this handprint that may be think “of course, my kids would LOVE [...]
And the Handprint Crafts continue with D for Dinosaur – I am really loving seeing quite how much both the children enjoy doing these, Red Ted always jumps up with pleasure when I say “shall we do some more Handprint Letters”? Check out the rest of our Handprint Alphabet… A, B and C already there! [...]
Well.. another week has passed ALREADY and we are on to C… Would you like to do a Chick (as Red Ted has chicks at school) NO! Would you like to do a caterpillar (as we have some caterpillars at home) NO! Would you like to do a cake (because we like cake) NO! How [...]
Well.. we are back with our Handpring Alphabet – we got crafty and had a go at a “B” letter.. there is the classic Butterfly (to which Red Ted shouted “No”), there are Boats (tempted to use that as S for Ship), Books and all sorts.. but when I suggested “Bee”, Red Ted said “yes [...]
So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day [...]
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 [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children. Flower pressing is another on of those “childhood” classic crafts that you can have a go at – it is surprising how well some flowers do press (whilst, ahem, other don’t). So [...]
