This is a fun Watercolor Craft using traced hands that my son and his buddy made. We traced our sons hands on 12x12 cardstock (or use watercolor paper) and then went back over the outlines with a black oil pastel. Then the boys painted their picture with watercolors.
Here is my son's finished painting:
Here is his friend's finished painting:
This is one that my son made in his Art Starts Here class when he was only 15 months old!

My little guy, 2 years old, loves to have his hand traced and to trace his own hands. It usually ends up being simple lines on the paper. This is a great way to extend that interest and to make a 2 part project for him. Thank you for sharing.
