Handprint Chick

Spring is almost here!  Trevor and I started our decorating by making handprint chicks. 

You'll need: yellow paper, orange paper, a pencil, scissors, a black pen and glue.

Start by tracing your hands on the yellow paper.  These will be the chick's wings.  Draw an oval body on the rest of the yellow paper.

Cut out the three yellow pieces, then cut a beak and legs from the orange paper.

Glue everything together.  Use the pen to draw the eyes.  I always have Trevor write his name and the date on the back of his artwork.  Sometimes he likes to give his project a title.  This is "Chicky."

It will be a lot of fun to pull this out in future years and see how Trevor's hands have grown and whether his handwriting changes!
