We are really trying to get back in the swing of things here, now that the end of school year craziness has died down. Whew!
This week is for the birds! My girls love all kinds of birds! They love feeding them and making their own bird sounds! So I thought a whole week dedicated to birds would be perfect!
Our first feathered friend this week is the Peacock! Many of you know that I love doing projects with hands and feet, so here is another fun way to do that!
1. Using your child's hand dipped in blue paint, print several hand prints to form a rainbow on a sheet of paper.
2. Repeat step 1 on the inside of the blue rainbow using green paint. Be sure to overlap the colors.
3. This is the tail feather of your peacock.
4. Trace your child's foot on a piece of construction paper.
5. Add eyes, a beak, and feet.
5. Glue the body of the peacock to the tail feathers and now you have a peacock!

That is so cute! We love doing hand and feet projects.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Peacocks are so pretty and so are the tootsies and hand kind:)
ReplyDeletei really like your simple idea.. it's really cute... ^__^
ReplyDeleteWe did something like this a few years ago with my daughter's and my hands for tailfeathers and my husband's foot for a body of a turkey for Thanksgiving. I saw it done with fabric paint on a doormat, but we only did a poster.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is suddenly very in to peacocks so this is a definite project!
I love all of these hand and footprint ones that you've been doing! Unfortunately one of my twins is skittish about me painting his hand. Truth be told I just use his brother's hand for both :) Twins come in handy from time to time!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely doing this with my youngest. She will love it... thank you!
ReplyDeletelooks like fun! its my first time to visit you and im enjoying your posts... i hope to be back soon!
ReplyDeleteCute! We've made reindeer and turkeys with handprints, but I had never thought of doing a peacock! You've got some fun ideas on here!
ReplyDeleteYou have great ideas -- what a fun mama!
