Now… we were very tempted to make a Handprint Tiger (Red Ted LOVES tigers)… but we recently went to the Zoo and we saw some (yes yes, some tigers but also) TURTLES. The kids thought they were adorable. And Pip Squeak seems to have a “turtle” thing. So a Handprint Turtle we made. It was really easy. Once again only Red Ted finished the craft, whilst Pip Squeak enjoyed the hand printing part.
Very simply paint your palm, thumb and the first digit (or two) or your fingers. Then print!
Once printed add your “shell pattern”, some “toe nails” and googly eyes.
Handprint Turtle DONE!
Here is the rest of our alphabet so far:
Handprint Art A, Handprint Art B, Handprint Art C, Handprint Art D, Handprint Art F , Handprint Art G, Handprint H, Handprint Art I, Handprint Art J, Handprint Art K, Handprint Art L, Handprint Art M, Handprint Art N, Handprint Art O, Handprint Art P, Handprint Art Q, Handprint Art R, Handprint Art S
