Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

What can you make a handprint into? There are so many possibilities. Today I am sharing a sweet board book that looks at just that. The board book is My Hand Is the Sun by Christine Naumann-Villemin and illustrated by Géraldine Cosneau. It is recommended for ages 2 to 4. I am also sharing a handprint animal craft roundup to go with this adorable book.

From the Publisher:

An interactive board book that sparks the imagination! What can a hand create? Apple trees, lions, flamingos, and butterflies too! Whether their hands are trees full of delicious apples or a friendly octopus waving its arms, children will delight in discovering the endless possibilities their hands hold.

From Me:

This book is a sweet book that toddlers and preschool aged kids will love. It takes a look at various things made with a handprint and shares some fun words about it as well as a sound associated with the animal or activity.

The words are simple and make the book adorable. The pictures are colorful, and the handprints are raised in the pictures so even in ones you can't completely see a full handprint (like the octopus below) you can feel and see if you look closely where the small handprint is. The raised part of the pictures do not show in these photos. The book is creative and lends itself to doing a craft activity and getting imaginations flowing.

So, what can you make with a handprint? Have any ideas? This book will give you some and the roundup below gives you even more. It is a book kids will enjoy. They will love finding the handprints and seeing the creativity in the illustrations. They will also enjoy the sweet words describing the illustration and making the sounds with the reader. I can see this becoming a favorite book!

Craft Roundup:

To go with this book the obvious thing is some handprint crafts! Since I recently did a handprint craft roundup, I thought I would focus on just animal handprint crafts today. They are divided into two collages: birds and other animals. I also have to share my most popular handprint craft that was for a Mother's Day gift but is perfect for anyone who loves a child.
