Handprint Elephant Art

Use your own handprint to create trunk-tastic art! 

Materials

  • Acrylic paint (pink)
  • Colored pencils
  • Colored markers
  • Pom-poms
  • Cardstock paper
  • Paper plate
  • Glue

Instructions

  1. Pour pink acrylic paint onto a paper plate. Then press your hand into the paint so your hand is well coated.
  2. Print your hand onto a sheet of cardstock paper. This will be your elephant’s body. Then wait for the paint to dry.
  3. Create facial details such as an eye, ear, and tail with markers. Then glue the pom-poms onto the body as sprinkles. 
  4. Get creative with your background scenery! We drew in grass, a sun, and a sky background with markers and colored pencils.
