Materials

  • Canvas or white card stock
  • Paint in brown, blue & green
  • Black yellow, red and orange sharpies

Instructions

  • Paint some grass or hills with the green paint, along the bottom of the paper or canvas.  
  • Use the blue paint to paint the sky above the grass. Let dry completely before moving on. 
  • Use a paintbrush to brush the brown paint onto your child's open hand. 
  • Firmly push your child's hand down slightly above the grass (be sure to leave room to make the legs), with their fingers pointed upward. 
  • Gently pull their hand straight up to avoid smearing any paint. 
  • Let the handprint dry completely. 
  • Once dry, use the markers to draw on the wattle, comb, legs and beak. 
  • Use the black marker to draw on a wing and outline the other parts of the chicken.
