The Steps

The new year will be here before we know it and immediately after that, a birthday celebration for us too.

I’m thankful for my kid’s creativity & imagination, because at times I have none.Then my kids or life happenings, in this case Micah’s birthday, will inspire a craft or activity. It’s a win-win!

Banana Shape

Draw a short & thick banana on a white plate. Repeat if you’d like on other white plates.
To the left draw a line, following the curve, about 2 inches long.

Mitten Shape

1. Place your left hand over the left side of the banana, separate your fingers into a V, and trace a narrow oval shape, stopping about 2/3 of the finger.

2. Place 4 fingers to the right of the oval, to create the larger part of the mitten.

Fingers & Thumb Shape

Trace your pinky finger for the eyes and your thumb for the nose.
OPTIONS: Use colored pencils(above) or craft paint and fill in the eyes, nose, and mouth area.
Cut out the face and save the extra pieces.
Draw a triangle onto the extra piece of plate, color/paint it a cream color, then cut it out. Set aside.

Palm Leaf Shape

Flip 1 blue plate upside down, then on the left side, draw half a large palm leaf, with 3 -4 sections.
Rotate the plate to the other side and repeat the palm leaf drawing, this time with 2-4 narrower sections.
Cut out the outer edge of the leaves minus the middle section.

Pie Slice Shape

1. Cut the middle section out, the shape of a pie slice. Set aside the leaf portions.

2. Fold the pie slice in half, trace around the previously made triangle, and then cut out both blue pieces(ears).

3. Flip 1 blue ear over and glue the cream-colored triangle onto it.
