Step-by-step Guide:

​

Part 1 - Creating your shapes:

​

1) Collect the equipment listed in the 'you will need' box.

​

2) Decide which colour paint to use and dip your hand or foot into the tray.

​

3) Make sure your hand/foot is fully coated and press it firmly onto the paper 

​

- You can overlap shapes or use two body parts at once.

​

4) Once you have created all of your desired shapes leave the paint to dry.

​

​

TOP TIP:

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WASH OR WIPE YOUR HAND/FOOT IN BETWEEN PRINTING SO THAT THE COLOURS DON'T MIX!

Part 2 - Making a creature:

​

1) Collect the equipment listed in the 'you will need' part 2 box.

​

2) Look at your prints and decide which creatures you would like to turn them into.

​

3) Using a black marker pen or something similar, begin to draw features onto your prints to turn them into an animal.

​

- You can use more paint to add more shapes onto your creatures or a pencil to shade them.
