Do you have a child that doesn’t like to get paint on their hands? This is the perfect craft for them! Make a hand shaped duck from craft foam. One of my kids favorites is the adorable kids book, Ruby in her own time. This craft is inspired by the main character.
About the book, Ruby in Her Own Time:
This adorable story follows a family of ducks, the two parents and their five children. One of the children seems to do everything a bit slower than the other four ducks with worries the papa duck. Mama duck assures him that she will do it in her own time....and she does!
