This is a cute and easy handprint craft suitable for preschool and kindergarten children -- it's one of those old standards I'm sure most of us remember making as children.

It goes well with a farm (animals) theme, letter L theme, March weather (lion/lamb) theme or a Bible theme.

Materials:

• black construction paper (or grey)
• glue,
• white pencil crayon or a silver marker
• cotton balls.
• Optional:  scissors.
• Optional: wiggly eyes

Instructions:

• Place your hand on the black (or grey) construction paper.
   
  • Your fingers should be slightly spread but the thumb should be out as far as possible.
  • Fingers are legs and thumb is head.
  • Trace your handprint.
• Optional:  Cut out your handprint.
• Glue cotton balls all over the handprint but leave the tips of the fingers and thumb cotton free.
• Glue small wiggly eyes onto the head (tip of thumb) or use pencil crayon.
• Use a white pencil crayon or silver marker to add a smile.
