Let the kids decide what color handprint they want to use, we have chosen orange for our fish.

Use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of paint to their hand. Make sure you have the wipes handy!!

Place their hand with their fingers toward the right corner, with their thumb next to the eye. Press down all along their hand to make sure the handprint transfers fully.

Pull your child’s hand off really gently to avoid any smudges.

Let the paint dry completely before coloring in the letter F and the fin of the fish and the water bubbles.

The most important thing though is just to have fun with this handprint art!
