Leprechaun handprint

I've been trying to explain leprechauns to my kids this week. They know about fairies and elves, so I think they understand leprechauns are part of that magical world. Today's project was to make leprechaun handprint art.

First, I painted each kids hands tan and brown. After they stamped their hand on the paper I painted a bit of brown hair on top. When they dried a bit I added a green hat, and the kids glued eyes on. 

After they finished drying, I used a Sharpie to draw in a mouth and nose. Then I used scraps of construction paper to make a band for the hat.
