We made two, one to hang up and one to bring to M's great-grandmother. I don't have any pictures of the process because I had one hand on the paint and the other on M's painted hand. It's fairly simple. You need white paint (we used our favorite very washable Crayola paint), black construction paper, and a black marker. We used googly eyes but you could draw the eyes on. M is getting good at handprints but if I was doing this with an older child I would tell them to keep their thumb down so it's closer to the other fingers.
Last week we did another fall picture that M loved (I haven't had a chance to post it). I made a brown tree on construction paper:
M filled in the autumn leaves. We used what I call "paint dotters" (bingo daubers, poster paint, felt tip paints, etc). M loved these. They were super easy for him to hold and use...
The downside was that they weren't very easy to clean off of his hands. We needed SOS but it did come off. Finished product...
