Soaring Creativity: How to Make a Handprint Eagle Craft

Glue one handprint on the left side of the body and one on the right, with fingers pointing outward. Overlap the thumbs slightly behind the body for a natural look.

Trace both of your child’s hands on white paper . Cut them out. These will be the eagle’s wing feathers. For a larger eagle, use an adult handprint.

Tag us if you make one — we’d love to see your flock of handprint eagles. 🦅
