Directions:

First grab the superhero printable listed above in the supply list.
Print it out, in color, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper {or any color you like!}
Grab your red craft paint and paper plate.
Squirt some paint on the paper plate.
Pick a hand – any hand!
Paint the palm of your child’s hand completely red and press it in the center of the printable, near the body of the superhero to create a cape.
When you lift up their hand from the paper, grab some baby wipes to remove as much craft paint as you can from their hand.
Send them off to the sink for a good scrubbing too!
While they are washing up, grab your markers and draw on facial features on the head of the printable {you can turn your superhero into a boy or girl!}
Glue on wiggle eyes if you like!
Set aside to let it dry completely.
Add other embellishments you see fit, as well as having children sign the bottom.
Then display/gift proudly!
