How to Make the Halloween Handprint Art Skeleton Hand
What you need:
- pencil
- scissors
- glue
- construction paper (black and purple)
- Q-tips
Step by Step Tutorial
Prepare a sheet of colorful construction paper.
Prepare a black sheet of paper, too (this can be regular paper).
Have your kids trace one hand on the black sheet using a pencil.
Include the wrist part of the hand, too.
Cut out the handprint shape and glue it to the background paper.
Depending on the handprint sizes your kids (or you) might need to trim down the length of a couple of Q-tips.
Start gluing the Q-tips to the handprint to make the bones.
Continue gluing the Q-tips to the fingers, forming the skeletal hand.
Next add a couple of Q-tips to the palm.
And finish up this handprint craft with a couple of Q-tips on the wrist.
All done!
