Supplies -
- acrylic paints
- textile medium
- paint pen
- foam paint brushes
- paper plates
- paper towels
- newspaper
- t-shirt
Directions -
- spread newspapers over your work area
- allow your grandchild(ren) to choose a color of paint they would like to paint their hands . . . if each child chooses one color, then they will be able to show their dad which hand-prints are their hand-prints!
- place several sheets of folded newspaper inside the t-shirt
- put a small amount of paint on a paper plate and add an equal amount of textile medium - stir so it is well blended - the textile medium will keep the hand-prints from washing out of the shirt
- one at a time, paint your grandchild(ren)s hands and allow them to carefully make a hand-print on the t-shirt - allow one side to dry before adding hand-prints to the other side
- when you have put all the hand-prints on the shirt, write, "Here's a Hug for Daddy" with the paint pen
- after the shirt has dried help your grandchild(ren) gift wrap the shirt for their dad
love it!
