Instructions:
You trace the child's hand on white construction paper, cut it out. Cut a long piece of green construction paper for stem. Fold (without creasing) the thumb and pinky fingers so that the fingertips touch. Glue them together. Fold the heel of the hand up and glue to the thumb and pinky. (This makes the "cup". ) You can glue in yellow pipe cleaners to make the yellow stamens inside the flower.

| Draw the shape of a bird's body on stiff paper. |
| Cut out the bird and cut two slits in the body (along the dotted lines). |
| Cut a piece of paper in half. Fold each piece like an accordion. | |
| Optional: Cut the edges of the folded paper for a lacy effect. |
| Insert the folded paper (wings and tail feathers) into the slits in the bird's body. Secure them to the body with clear tape. Tape the ends of the tail feathers together (making a fan shape). Draw eyes on the dove. Tape some string to the body of the dove (for hanging it up). Optional: decorate the dove with markers or glitter. |
