   Handprint Tulips         

      This is a wonderful craft for kids who like to get messy. 
        

Materials you will need for the tulips are:

white paper (we used construction paper)
  

green finger paint and red finger paint  (or pink, white or yellow…) 

   

Directions:

Dip the forearm (from elbow to wrist) in green finger paint.  If you don't have a tray big enough to accommodate this, just paint the finger paint onto the forearm with a paintbrush.
 

Press the arm down 3 or 4 times onto a sheet of white paper (construction paper works great!) to make the stems of the tulips  

         

                                                                    

Now dip the hand (excluding the thumb) into red finger paint and stamp on top of the stems (holding the thumb up) to make the tulip flowers.  
  

Keep the fingers close together.

                                                                             

You can add fingerprint green stems, thumbprint green grass, thumbprint caterpillars and thumbprint butterflies…With a black marker draw a body and antennae
