Hand Prints with School Painting
Make it fun
 You will need:
: Sheet of Paper
: Tempera Poster Paint
: Little Hands
: Shallow trays
: Plastic table top or cover a table with a plastic sheet.
: Apron and a cover sheet or newspapers – plus paper towels.

Let’s get started:
This can get messy if you don’t have a bowl of water and paper towels prepared before you begin. 

Put on the apron and prepare a surface area.
Write the child’s name on the back of the paper before you begin

Pour paint into the shallow trays have one per colour.
There are two ways to get the paint on to the hands. 

1.       Slowly dip the palm of the hands into the trays. 
2.       You paint the hands yourself with a brush.

Sometimes the dipping option can get too messy with drips and will give a sloppy looking print.  The brush option will give you more control and a far better print.
Once you have a good few hand prints you can wash the hands in the water and dry them before trying another colour.

Another option is to use a black marker to add eyes, ears, legs and a mouth.  

Allow to try
TIPS:  
-          Cleaning as you go is a good idea
-          Have paper towels ready.
-          Often less is more. 
-          Stick to nice bold colours.

Share and enjoy & have fun.

Place an old towel or paper towels around the shoulders. Have your model relax their face - no squinting. HAVE FUN! Using Face Paint Colours: If you do not have all the colours you need, try mixing the colours together to make a new colour. Mix on the back of your hand or in a saucer. See the mix and match colour guide below. Painting Details: Narrow thin brush Paint your details with a thinner brush. Make sure you wash your brush between colours or have a brush for each colour. Paint carefully around eyes and never go too close with your brush. Try cotton buds/swabs for easy control. Using Sponges: for backgrounds. Sponge...
