Handprint Camel Craft

Welcome to our camel handprint craft tutorial! This delightful and interactive activity will guide you through the process of transforming your handprint into a charming camel. With just a few simple steps, you'll be able to create a unique piece of art that showcases your creativity.

Materials:

• Brown paint
• White paper
• Paintbrush
• Water and a cloth for washing hands

Craft Instructions:

• Begin by spreading your fingers apart and applying brown paint evenly on your palm and fingers. Make sure to cover the entire surface of your hand.
• Carefully press your hand onto a white piece of paper, creating a handprint. Press down firmly to ensure that the paint transfers well onto the paper.
• Once you have made the handprint, wash your hands thoroughly to remove the paint. Dry your hands with a cloth.
• Now, turn the paper upside down so that the fingers of the handprint are pointing downward. This will serve as the legs of the camel.
• Dip a paintbrush into the brown paint, and use it to turn the thumb of the handprint into a U-shaped neck. Extend the neck upward from the top of the palm towards the fingers.
• Next, use the paintbrush to add an oval-shaped head at the top of the neck. The head should be slightly smaller than the palm of the handprint.
• On either side of the head, add two small oval ears using the paintbrush. These ears should be placed near the top of the head and slightly tilted outward.
• Paint a straight line on the back as a tail.
• Allow the paint to dry completely.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a camel handprint craft. You can further decorate the background or add details to the camel using additional art supplies if you wish. Enjoy your craft!
