* Then using some green paint, add some squiggles for sea-weed on the bottom of your canvas.
* And here comes the fun part! Your child’s hand-print will be turned into the fish. Because this is a “one shot” type thing, explain to your child what they need to do & do a few test runs on plain paper. Also make sure you have an idea of where you want your fish to be.
* Once you are sure, just paint your child’s hand with the orange paint and press down on the canvas. Grab a baby wipe and wipe their hands clean.
* Now you are ready to give the fish life. Using the red paint, I painted a heart for the lips on our fish. I also gave it the power to see, by drawing a green dot for the eye.
* Then using my black paint, I painted a hook near the fish’s mouth. Let dry completely before adding stickers.
* The phrase we added to our canvas was “I’m Hooked on Daddy.” But you could also use something like “You are a great catch!” Or “I “fish” you a Happy Father’s Day!”
* Don’t forget to add your child’s name & year in the corner of the canvas {or on the back} so you can remember when it was created.
* And you are done. If you want to make sure the stickers don’t come off, paint some Modge Podge over the entire canvas to seal everything in.
* Then let it all dry completely and get ready to WOW the lucky receiver!
