This was a homework assignment for Lu. She had to count everyone in the families hands then trace their fingers on a page and number them. I thought it would be fun to take it a step further. I had Lu use watercolor paper. She traced every ones hands, overlapping each hand as she went along. I traced them with a Sharpie and Lu numbered them. Then I gave her some watercolors and let her paint them any way she wanted. I think it came out beautiful! What a great family "portrait." I am definitely framing this one!
This would make a great gift for a Mom, Dad or Grandparent!
Tip: I highly recommend you use water color paper. Water color paper won't buckle as much and will hold up better. Also outlining the hands using a permanent marker will make sure the hands don't get lost under all the paint. You don't need to have your little one number each finger unless you want to reinforce counting.
What a pretty homework assignment!
