Creating Handprint Love Birds: A Step-by-Step Guide

Gather Your Materials

You'll need the following: construction paper (various colors), scissors, glue, markers, and of course, little hands ready to make some prints!

Make the Handprints

Have the child press their hand onto a piece of construction paper. Make sure to spread their fingers wide to create the bird's feathers. Then, carefully cut out the handprint.

Create the Birds

Use the handprints as the birds' bodies. Draw and cut out additional pieces like beaks, eyes, and feet from the construction paper. Glue these onto the handprints to create your love birds.

Add the Final Touches

Draw a heart between the birds to symbolize love. You can also add any additional decorations you like. Let your imagination soar!
