1.   Paint the hand
Coat the child’s hand in yellow paint. Make sure the palm and fingers are evenly covered, but not too thick, so the print shows clearly.

2.   Stamp the hand sideways
Press the painted hand onto the paper sideways, with the thumb positioned as the duck’s head and the fingers forming the tail. Lift carefully to avoid smudging.

3.   Let it dry briefly
Give the paint a minute or two to settle. This helps prevent the marker details from blending into the paint.

4.   Draw the beak and legs
Use an orange marker to add a small triangle beak on the thumb. Then draw two simple legs underneath the palm.

5.   Add grass details
With a green marker, draw small lines and tufts under the duck to create a grassy ground.

6.   Finish the face and text
 Use a black marker to add a dot for the eye. Above the duck, write:
D is for Duck
