Hands. It would take a long time to write what we can do thanks to them: hug, stroke, hold hands, fasten buttons, tie, write, paint, sculpt, embroider, create… A whole arsenal of possibilities. Thanks to the limbs developed in this way, we can build precise devices, create realistic art. There are so many possibilities…
The hand pattern was based on a cross-stitch pattern. Beautiful in its simplicity.

This version of the hands hidden under the graphic dictation code was prepared based on an orderly code. Each colored square was coded separately, pixel by pixel, to create a simplified diagram of a hand. The code board that you will find on the worksheet is large, with 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm fields. Therefore, the sheet can be included in the series intended for preschoolers and younger children. And for people with less manual dexterity.
In fact, you will find here two worksheets with mystery pictures for kids. One is for the left hand and the other is for the right.
