Peace Dove Handprints

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we made peace doves using hand prints! This was a quick and fun craft, and it introduced the dove as a symbol of peace.

To make your own peace dove handprint, you will need: white paint, orange and blue construction paper, glue, and a paint brush. Oh yes, and a hand!

First, dip your child's hand into some white paint.

Press onto blue construction paper with fingers closed and thumb extended.

Add a beak....

....and some wings.....

...and an eye!

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!!
