Hand and Footprint Painting, Frog!

Well to start my new section on hand/foot print art, Ive decided to do frogs.  Hand and foot (as well as finger/toes/etc) print art is a really good way to make pictures or cards to give as presents.  They are great to do at any age or stage of development, and for the most part are very easy to do.

What you need:

Green paint (although we used blue and yellow to make green, as this adds more fun to the make.

Green tissue paper

Red and green glitter glue

Googlie eyes

What to do:

First of all we needed to mix the paint (this step is not needed if you are using green paint) we added blue and yellow paint to a plate and allowed her to mix it, to make green.

While she was entertained with mixing the paint, we made a lily pad 
shape with the tissue paper, we then stuck this to the paper (or card if making a card).

Then we painted her foot with a brush (I find this method less messy than just letting her put her foot in the paint!) and added her foot print sideways across the paper (or card if making a card), partly on top of the tissue paper lily pad.  Then we painted her hands and added these upside down on top of the footprint to make the eyes, and allowed the paint to dry.

Once dry we added glitter glue around the lily pad, and a red glitter glue smile, as well as two googlie eyes.
