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.
