Hand and Footprint Painting, Boat!

Sailing Boat 


We made this after spending a day at the seaside, where we had been talking about all the boats we could see.  So this week is all about boats and the sea! This is how we made a lovely hand and foot print picture of a boat.

What you need:
White paper or card
Paints (we made a green and brown boat, but you can choose whatever colours you need)
Blue textured paper (we used to 2 different blue tissue paper and some corrigated paper)
Blue glitter glue
coloured pipe cleaner

What we did:


First of all using the brown paint, we painted her foot with a brush and added it sideways to the paper (or card) and then clean up the mess!
Next, we painted her hands with the green paint using a brush, and added two hand prints just above the footprint.

Once that has dried you can then go about decorating your boat.  
We choose to add a pipe cleaner as the mast, this is done by making to small holes at the top and bottom of the middle of the hand print,  tie a small knot in one end of the pipe cleaner, thread through the holes and tie a small knot in the other end.
We also added blue textured paper and blue glitter to look like the sea.  To do this, we cut out wave shapes in the paper and stuck to the bottom of the paper (or card) and cover the bottom half of the footprint.  
This is a picture of our finished boat picture...

Apologies, my computer skills are not great, so have no idea how to turn the picture round!
