How To Make

Step 1: measure your kiddos hand with the plate, then use the finger placement to paint the turkey feathers. One red, green, orange & yellow. Allow to fully dry.

Step 2: practice with hour kiddo. Show them what you want them to do, multiple times. If you want, you can use finger paint to practice with before hand. Luckily the plates wipe clean & you can start if needed. 

Step 3: paint your little ones hand with gold paint, do not apply too much, as the paint will make their hands slide. 

Step 4: place their hands down onto the plate, aligning their fingers to the feathers. 

Step 5: any area that is smeared or overlapping can be wiped.

Step 6: allow to fully dry.

Step 7: paint the dots onto the turkey feathers.
