Instructions
Step 1: Paint the Hand Green
Cover the palm and fingers with green paint. Make sure the paint reaches all areas of the hand for a clear print.
Step 2: Stamp the Handprint Upside Down
Press the painted hand firmly onto a sheet of white paper with the fingers pointing downward. Carefully lift the hand to reveal the print.
Once stamped, the palm forms the top of the leaf while the fingers create the lower sections. This gives the handprint a leaf-like shape.
Step 3: Let the Paint Dry
Allow the handprint to dry completely before adding details with the marker.
Step 4: Draw the Leaf Veins
Using a black marker, draw a vertical line down the center of the handprint to create the main vein. Add smaller angled lines branching outward from the center line to represent the veins of the leaf.
These simple details help transform the handprint into recognizable leaf art.
Step 5: Write “L Is for Leaf”
Write L is for Leaf. This reinforces letter recognition and connects the handprint art to the alphabet lesson.
