{WEEK FIVE}
Animals:
Turtle
Unicorn
Vulture
Supplies:
Paint (green, black, red and your choice for the unicorn)
Googley eyes
Yarn to match unicorn
Construction paper (white and color for unicorn's horn)
Laminating sheets
Directions:
NOTE: These letters can be done all in one sitting or one per day to go along with books from the library, coloring pages and other crafts.
GENERAL TIPS:
1. See notes for each letter/animal to help you with your handprint; use a paintbrush to apply paint to your child's hand.
2. Allow paint to dry completely before adding embellishments.
3. Wash and dry hands between each letter.
4. Laminate pages after the paint is COMPLETELY dry then add final embellishments like googley eyes using hot glue onto the laminated pages.
5. We will bind our books when all the letters are done - for now keep the finished pages in a safe place. :)
T is for TURTLE
Paint your child's entire palm and thumb but only to the first knuckle of thier 4 fingers (we did the whole finger and his legs are too long). Press their hand onto the paper with fingers spread slightly and facing the bottom of the page. Allow to dry then draw a shell, short tail, and nails on the feet. (Do you like the ears my son added to his? Who am I to squash his creativity??) Laminate then add google eyes.
U is for UNICORN
Paint your child's entire hand and fingers the color of their choice. Press your childs hand onto the paper with fingers spread and thumb out straight. Fingers facing the bottom of the page. Allow to dry then draw hooves and a mouth. Also add a small horn on top of your unicorn's head. Laminate then add google eyes. Finally, glue a tail and mane made from yarn to finish your unicorn, and maybe some glitter????
V is for VULTURE
Paint your child's entire hand brown and place it diagonally with fingers together and facing the bottom of the page. Paint a red circle at the top of the palm for the bird's head. Allow the paint to dry then draw a beak and feet. My son also added a nest and a few eggs. Cut out a collar using white construction paper and glue it to the bird's neck. Laminate then add google eyes.
