{WEEK SIX}
Animals:
Walrus
X-Ray fish
Yak
Zebra
Supplies:
Paint (red, black, grey, white)
Construction paper - pink, white, black, brown
Googley eyes
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. :)
W is for WALRUS
Paint your child's entire hand red then press onto the page with fingers together and facing the bottom of the page. Allow to dry the embellish with a mustache and tusks made from construction paper. Laminate the add google eyes.
X is for XRAY FISH
Paint your child's entire hand black (or color of their choice) and place sideways on the page with pinky and thumb extended. Allow to dry then embellish with "fish bones" cut from construction paper. Laminate the add google eyes.

Z if for ZEBRA
Paint a scenic backround for your zebra and allow to dry completely. Paint your child's entire hand with white paint and press onto the page over the background with fingers slightly spread facing the bottom of the page, and thumb out wide. (We only did one coat --- you may want to do more allowing each layer to dry). Once paint has dried draw stripes, a tail, mane and hooves on your zebra. Laminate the add google eyes.
YOU ARE ALL DONE!!!! You can take your book to a local office supply store to have it bound for just a couple dollars or hang the pages on the wall using a clothes line art display! ENJOY!!
