Hand-Print Animal Art

A must have book for Preschool Art teachers! Great ideas for gifts and displays.

I teach Pre-Kindergarten and needed a special classroom project for our school auction. We purchased this book, some nice paper and acrylic paints and began making some of the animals in the book. They are so cute! The book gives facts and fun projects to do for each animal to extend the children's learning. It also offers an "activity level" to portray the difficulty of each animal handprint. We tried all levels in our classroom and have been delighted with the results. We made a collage of the animals and had it professionally mounted in a black bamboo frame and parents are already making plans about where to put in each of their homes. The bidding war should be fun! I highly recommend this book for teachers and parents and children who like to "get messy".

This book had many GREAT ideas for various animals. It was easy enough that, my almost 2 year old, and I together did a very nice piece of art. If you like to finger play, it is worth the purchase!
