When I taught PreK, I had a printout of a hand on cardstock that I sent home with each child. It was the first family project of several that I did throughout the year. The objective: for the family to decorate the hand (not the PreK child) FOR the PreK child. No other rules. As you can imagine, each year, you just NEVER knew what you were going to get. And we kept them all year long. The kids LOVED having that in our room, and would sometimes ask me to take one down to hold for a few minutes while they were missing their family. I.LOVE.THAT.BOOK.
What a precious idea!!
@Jos — I can imagine how fun that was for the little ones — having the handprints around all year! What a great idea!
Thanks, Kristen!
This has been one of my favorites to start out the school year with each year in my Kindergarten class. I included it in my post about Tips for the First Day of School on our blog at http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/
What a very cute idea. I wonder how my adult children would feel about this when I leave them after visiting 😉
