Elephant Hand Prints
Just like elephants, hands march in pairs, two by two… here’s a quick and easy crafty one for pre-schoolers. Simply turn their hand prints into elephants with the help of a black marker like this one:
Here’s how, make the handprints and allow to dry. With the handprint upside down:
