Handprints and Footprints Zoo

By -
After our handprint peacocks...Anya wanted to do more hands and even feet prints....so I searched around and found some great ideas...and we did a few of them...


All you need for this fun activity ...

Watercolors
Paper
Some brushes/ sponges
Some markers
And super-keen and krafty toddlers :p


We made a crab by printing one foot as the crab's body..and then 2 handprints on top on each side to make the clasps. Then just used a brush to join the handprints to the footprint..and some legs at the side...and 2 tentacles at the top... Once it dried we added 2 googgly eyes...Done! 


If you have not seen the peacocks we did the other day..the post can be found here...didn't they look absolutely adorable! 


We also made Footprint Butterflies for both kids...these r my absolute favorite...must make keepsake for those cute lil feet...




And finally (for now) we made our Family of Jellyfish ! So we all pitched in to make this art piece...was fun and isn't that a cute family (palm) potrait! ;)



So which one is YOUR favorite? Comment and share with us if you make some with your kids.

Happy Krafting!

Will it be beneficial in 2040 that my child can code in scratch/ Javascript/ C# ? Will it matter they can do long division of a 6 digit number ? Will it be helpful that they could solve fractions and quadratic equations in Grade 6 ? I found the answer for all these questions to be NO. It won’t be beneficial. It won’t matter. And it won’t help. In today’s day and age, our children have a tsunami of information. Not wealth, tsunami. There is no end to the data available to them if they have access to internet (and lets be real, who doesn’t?). And the concern is that it is un-censored, un-checked information. A multitude of opinions and accounts from every Tom, Dick and Harry about every subject you could imagine. Even as adults, we struggle to...

Another enjoyable craft piece Anya loved doing last week! Made the web on a sheet of paper 1. Drew a web pattern with a pencil on the paper. 2. Applied a mixture of glue and water all over the pattern. 3. Pasted wool all along the pattern. Done! For the spider 1. Pasted together 4 pipe cleaners at the centre. Bent the sticks to look like 8 spider legs. 2. Pasted a pom-pom over the joint. 3. Put some googly eyes n mouth. And vola...u have the spider!
