Welcome to the Handprint the Alphabet series for kids! We’re looking to learn and get creative with our preschoolers this summer. Today is letter “N.” While there are lots of objects we could do, today, “N” is for nut! Yes, this is technically an acorn, but it is considered a tree nut. I checked. 🙂 Today’s project involves painting one palm with an addition of a little extra art. Be sure to pop over and check out my Tips for Great Handprint Art with Kids post if you’ve never done handprint art with preschoolers before. I share a few pointers plus my go-to supplies!
Supplies (may include affiliate links):
- White paper
- Paint
- Coordinating marker or colored pencil
- Optional: regular pencil
Apply a thick coat of paint to one palm. Lay the hand in the center of the paper. Apply gentle pressure to the hand, and then lift it up. Clean off the hand. Let the paint dry completely.
Use the coordinating marker or colored pencil to draw the top of the acorn. The kids can color it in. Add a small stem. Optional: use the regular pencil to lightly draw the shape in and then trace over it with the colored pencil or marker.
Thanks for following along, and I’ll see you back tomorrow with the letter “N!” I’d love to hear if you are joining in on the series with your kiddo. Feel free to post photos on my Facebook wall or tag me on Instagram!
