How to make Farm Animal Handprint Art

There are two different ways to make these fun farm animal handprint art pictures.

1. You can get your kids to trace around their hands first, which is a great fine motor activity and then paint in the outline.

2. Your kids can paint directly onto their hand first and then stamp the paint onto the paper; this technique is also an excellent sensory activity for kids of all ages.
