HAND AND FEET PRINTS

This is a very fun activity for children, but so messy!!! So you must be prepared to control your stress level! Even with due precautions your floor and clothes will get a bit dirty.

Get your self a big paper roll, the one usually used for display boards at meetings and similar. Roll it out on your hall floor. If you have carpeted floor is best to cover it with naylon. Stick the corners to the floor with sallotape.
Prepare a few large plastic container-lids with hand paint. Also prepare some containers to put some regular paint, get out a brush, sponges of different shapes, stickers and any art and craft materials you come about.

Give your child a nice size apron!!!!

Now let your child explore witht he different types of paint and the different ways he can use them. Encourage him to use his feet and walk all the way to the end of the paper and look at his feet-prints. He can use his hands, paint with a brush, and sponge paint. You may also need to change the paper when he gets too busy.










This can be a nice piece of art to hung on your wall :)
