Before creating handprint crabs we read Clumsy Crab. It’s always a favorite! I found this handprint project on Pinterest, originally from Daily Dose of Sugar Mama.

perfect summer craft
Such a cute project that goes along with the book you suggested!
Love the ease, simplicity and finished “product” while extending the work of the picture book illustrator.
Speaking of illustrators….. what a segway. LOL. In the last week I have won a national INDIE Award of Excellence for my picture book & I’m ecstatic. I will be hosting a linkie party at the end of the week for an autographed copy of my “Red, White and Blue” which would be the perfect resource for extension ideas, such as what you’ve created for Clumsy Crab, for the observation of the 10th anniversary of 9-11.
Thank you for allowing me to share my project w your regular readers.

Lovely to see you at the Play Academy! I always love handprint crafts – and the jelly fish are cute too. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us (I’m going to share the jellyfish on our Facebbok page and Pinterst too)
These are so fun! I will definitely try this one! 🙂
These are adorable and so simple to make for little hands! Thank you for sharing this with us on The Sunday Showcase
