4. Trace the handle on to purple paper and cut out.
5. Now glue the purple handle to the pink hand.
6. Cut off the top of the purple hand and glue it to the pink one to form a teapot lid, but before you press it down, squeeze the end of a small piece of yarn under.

To Go Coffee Cup Instructions
1. For the paper coffee cup, trace the child’s hand on mint paper with the fingers and thumb together.
2. Next, trace and cut out another handprint from white paper.
3. After you have the paper hand shapes, the next thing you'll need is the coffee wrapper and cap rim from the printed template. Cut out either the bigger version or the smaller depending on the child's hand size.
4. Then, cut the fingertips off the white hand and glue them to the mint hand to form the top part of the cap or the whipped cream. Glue on the long rectangle to complete the cap. You can trim it to fit the child’s hand.
5. To finish, trace and cut the circle shape from the pink paper. Glue the white coffee wrapper to the middle of the hand and then add the pink circle in the middle.
