You can of course print this on normal printer paper, but with all of our crafts, they always look better on cardstock.

Let the kids decide what color handprints they want to use, we have chosen bright yellow for our bee wings.

Use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of paint to their hands. Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Place their hands with their fingers pointing up to the sky, with their palms at the top of the bee. Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull your child’s hand off really gently to avoid any smudges.

Let the paint dry completely before coloring in the letter B and the body of the bee.

The most important thing though is just to have fun with this handprint art!
