Book of the Week 

Ater reading “Jack And The BeanStalk”,  we decided to make Hen with Handprints. And as expected, it turned out to be a great fun activity for the kids as they love doing activities that involve Handprints.

What you’ll need : White,Red & Orange Construction Paper, Red Paint, Scissor, Glue, Googly Eyes & Marker.

Step 1: Using a red paint, let your kids print their hands on a white construction paper.

Step 2: Let the paint dry first and then glue googly eyes on the thumb.

Step 3: Let your kids draw a beak, toes and cut it.

Step 4: Let your kids cut comb.

Step 5: Atlast, let them glue comb.

And, a “Handprint” Hen was ready in no time. Isn’t this a simple idea to keep your little ones busy doing something creative. Do share your experience reading our book of the week!
