Handprint Busy Bee Craft - Guest Post from R U Ready 2 Craft?

Hi everyone! I am Leslie @ruready1st and today I am going to share a Handprint Busy Bee craft with you made with prints from the top of the hand! Last week, my girls were at Veritable Boredom Solution (aka Vacation Bible School) for summer break where they are doing a bug theme. It inspired some bug activities at home. After I got them to stop buzzing around the house, I mentioned that we could fingerpaint and it immediately got their attention. My girls love to paint!

Step 2. Paint the side of the thumb black and each folded finger an alternating color of yellow and black.

Handprint Bee craft for kids

My youngest loves to fingerpaint and enjoys handprint art. She will do anything to get her hands into paint.  My oldest daughter prefers using a brush. After making the initial handprint with her fist, she washed her hand off. She then finished her picture off by using a brush. Whichever method your child prefers, it is still a fun thing to do.

I am a Stay At Home Mom who enjoys doing new and different crafts with my girls especially since it keeps them away from the television. We started as a part of homeschooling with me documenting the fun on my regular blog. Now I have started a new adventure with my craft blog, RU Ready 2 Craft? I look for inspiration in what they are doing each day to include in our crafts.
