Farm animal projects are one of our favorite activities in our house since we are actually living on a farm.

Now since the Winter is almost over and all the holiday decorations are gone it is time for some spring fun.

Therefore I decided to start up this new season with this fun chicken handprint craft for my kids.

This wonderful spring craft for kids is especially a big hit for toddlers and preschoolers. It is perfectly manageable in a classroom setting.

Painting with hands brings a lot of joy and fun. It helps children to explore paint with their own fingers and makes it the perfect sensory activity.
