First, guide your child to trace your child’s hand onto a yellow or brown piece of paper and cut the handprint out. Glue the duck’s head to the thumb of the handprint.
Place the duck’s bill halfway on the edge of the head and glue it in place.
Position the eye just to the left and slightly above the bill and glue it down.
Next, help your child to glue the cheek just below the eye.
Finally, encourage your child to glue the legs to the bottom and back of the handprint duck craft body.
