Hands, hands, what do you do with hands?

I found this craft ("hand" flower) online yesterday so I decided to try it today with some minor modifications. Instead of using pipe cleaners (expensive leh) for the stalks, I used chopsticks (the only sticks I could find). I also do away with leaves (lazy lah). Unfortunately, Sophie did not let me trace around her hands so I had to use my own hands. The next time I do this craft with her, I would use paint and handprints... she would probably enjoy that better.

End Product - "Hand" Flowers

Anyway, we started with a song we learnt from Sophie's MIM-Jumpstart (no, I do not have any book for this...)

Lyrics

Hands, hands, what do you do with hands? Give them both a clap...
Feet, feet, what do you do with feet? Give them both a tap...
Shoulders, shoulders, what do you do with shoulders? Give them both a shrug...
Arms, arms, what do you do with arms? Give somebody a hug!

(I forgot the second part, so I made up the rest...)


Eyes, eyes, what do you do with eyes? Give them both a rub...
Ears, ears, what do you do with ears? Give them both a tug...
Nose, nose, what do you do with nose? Give it one good sneeze... Achoo!
Mouth, mouth, what do you do with mouth? Give somebody a kiss... Muack!


Next, I gave Sophie paper with the outline of my hands already drawn. As usual, she scribbled and scribbled... And ended up drawing on my hand and making sure I capture it on the video...

By now, she had had enough of scribbling... so I took over the task of cutting the "hands" out and wrapping them around chopsticks. Finally, I painted the "stalk" green... But not before Sophie had some fun with the "flowers" first.




Okay, now that we have finished the "hand" flowers... What do we do with them?
