Here’s how to make 26 animal handprints – one for each letter of the alphabet! This is such a fun way to make art.

We make handprints during most painting sessions. Not only is it a great way of clearing off excess paint, but I love making the prints into other things! I have tried to show a wide range of styles of animal handprints: using googly eyes, craft foam, feathers, silver thread, tissue paper, glitter glue and more.
A is for Alligator. This was made with green painted hands formed into the “Spock Hands” position. 😉 This can be hard for little ones to do, but it is fine to just position their painty fingers before hitting the paper. The gap in the fingers becomes the mouth.




E is for Elephant. This was a card for my husband that I made when my son was 1. I took a grey handprint, mounted it onto card and added features (and craft foam grass!).

To finish off the project I glued all the handprints into a paper book. They looked so cute all together! I hope you enjoyed our ABC of Animal Handprints!
