To Make
- Cover a table with newspaper to protect it from the paint – you may need to wear an apron or an old shirt too!
- Put the paint on the paper plate – use bright rainbow colours!
- Paint the palm (middle) of your hand and your fingers and thumbs different colours – use a brush or put your hand straight in the paint (it’s very messy!)
- Press your hand down flat onto the white paper firmly. Do it lots of times to make lots of prints!
- Leave the hand prints to dry and wash your hands!
