Activity Details
Have a large sheet of butcher paper on a table or taped to the wall.
Each child picks a color and makes a paint handprint. They finger paint the first letter of their name, or all of their name if time and ability permit.
Wipe and wash hands.
Point out that every hand is different, but we all worked together to make this mural for the class.
Hang the mural on display for future class sessions.
