First, print the printable to go along with this craft. We like to practice the letter on the first page before making our handprint, and we do the next page while the handprint is drying.

To make the duck’s body, simply paint the entire palm and fingers with yellow paint.

Press the hand onto the paper. Try to leave a little bit of room towards the bottom to make feet.

Now it’s time to make the rest of the Duck. Add an orange triangle for the beak, and use lines to make the legs and feet. We did a black dot of paint to make the Duck’s eye. You could also wait until the paint dries and use black marker, or add a bit of glue and a googly eye.
