Handprint Lamb Craft

contributed by Leanne Guenther

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:

1. 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.
   
   
2. Trace your handprint - fingers are legs and thumb is head.
      
3. Glue cotton balls all over the handprint but leave the tips of the fingers and thumb cotton free.
4. Glue small wiggly eyes onto the head (tip of thumb) or use pencil crayon.
5. Use a white pencil crayon or silver marker to add a smile.
