Instructions

Step 1: Paint the Hand

Coat the child’s hand in blue paint. Keep fingers together to form the bird’s body and tail shape. A smooth, even layer gives the best print.

Step 2: Stamp the Handprint

Press the painted hand firmly onto the paper. Lift straight up to reveal the bird shape. The fingers create a feathery tail effect.

Step 3: Allow Time to Dry

Set the paper aside until the paint dries completely. This pause prevents smudging and keeps details crisp in later steps.

Step 4: Add Legs and Beak

Use an orange marker to draw two thin legs extending from the base of the handprint. Add a small triangle beak to bring the bird to life.

Step 5: Draw the Branch

Sketch a brown branch beneath the bird. A slightly curved line with small offshoots creates a natural perch.

Step 6: Add Leaves

Dot the branch with simple green leaves. Small oval shapes work well and add a pop of color contrast.

Step 7: Create the Eye

Draw a white circle for the eye, then add a black pupil.

Step 8: Add Text

At the top of the page, write “B is for Bird.” Bold lettering helps reinforce the letter connection to the bird craft.
