This 2 minute craft explains how to make a handprint face!
You will need:
- Thick paint; can be poster paints, watercolours, or any other water-based thick paint that can be washed off your hands easily!
- A paper plate or flat saucer to put the paint in.
- Felt tips
- Decorations
- Felt tips
- Glue
- Newspaper
- White paper
- Help from a grown-up
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!
- Once the prints are dry, cut them out – be careful around the fingers!
- Use felt tips to draw the features of a silly face. Use pom poms or screwed up tissue paper for the nose or use googly eyes if you have them!
- Have fun and experiment!
