What You Do
-
STEP 1: MAKE HANDPRINT
Make sure your work area is well covered. Put a small amount of paint on a plate and spread it around. Dip your palm in and press it to a piece of construction paper. Or better yet, use a paintbrush to paint on your palms. Try brushing on different color combinations.
-
STEP 2: DRAW TURKEYS
When your handprints are dry, use a marker to draw on the legs, eyes, and bills of your turkeys.
-
STEP 3: COVER PLACEMAT WITH CONTACT PAPER
Cover both sides of the paper with clear contact paper.
Now you are ready to use the placemat for dinner. Make an entire set for your family!
