I have added a handprint template just in case you need it. 

If you are doing this craft with your toddler place their hand on a white blank paper, and trace the hand shape using a pencil. 

Cut out the handprint along the outline. Then, trace the shape on blue craft paper. Cut it out. 

Cut out the rest of the pieces to make your thing 1 and thing 2 preschool craft using the PDF templates.

Use a black marker to write “thing 1” on the circular white craft paper. 

Step 2: Glue The Head.
