Do you remember making a hand print turkey in grade
school? Have you ever thought of creating other
things using a hand print. I’m seeing a
lot of crafts with hand prints.
My favorite is the turkey. I liked as a child using my hand
as part of the design. It made my turkey more personal. Although then I probably thought it was just
fun and silly.
If you place your hand print with the fingers upward, you
can make all kinds of birds. Another
good bird for the hand print is a peacock.
The fingers are great as the
feathers and the thumb can be the head with the palm of the hand as the body.
If you place your hand print with the fingers downward, the
fingers can be the legs of some four legged animals with the thumb either as
the head or the tail or as in the elephant the trunk.
If you close your fingers a bit, the hand can be a fish or
with some additions, a rocket.
Go ahead and trace your child’s hand on paper (or yours if you want to have some childhood fun) and see what the child can come up with.
