This is a handprint painting idea for slightly older children. Rather than using one colour of paint on your hand and manipulating the stamp to form shapes on the paper, this time Sam painted a design on his hand first. The result wasn't perfect, but it was fun.

Instructions:
Paint a design straight on to your hand. Sam painted a clowns face with his fingers as hair.
Stamp the hand on to paper.
This simple craft idea resulted from an experiment, with Sam dropping watered food colouring onto kitchen towel to see how the colours intermingled. We turned the result into some cloud "suncatchers" and put them on display on our window.
We've used a paint drizzling technique to make this Happy Holi card, and then glued on some craft foam letters. Of course you could make a card like this for any occasions - I think it would make a great birthday card.
Shaving foam has a soft soapy texture and kids love to play with it straight as it comes out of the can - but stirring in powder paint adds an extra element of fun! Make sure to cover the work surface and the child before you start!
