PAIR YOUR NINJA TURTLE CANVAS WITH —> Paper Bag Ninja Turtles
Here’s what you need to make your own painted ninja handprint canvas:
* Medium Sized Canvas {or white cardstock paper}
* Washable Green Craft Paint
* Your Choice of Color Craft Paint for the Bandana {orange, purple, blue or red}
* Paint Brushes – a small & a large one
* Small Paper Plate
* Baby Wipes
* Cute Kids w/Hands
* Small Wiggle Eyes {two per canvas craft}
* Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
* First things first – grab your small paper plate, green craft paint and large foam paint brush.
* Squirt the green paint on the paper plate.
* Next up – the handprint. Pick a hand – any hand. Paint your child’s hand completely green and have them press it on the canvas.
* Carefully lift up their hand to reveal the design underneath. Go ahead and use baby wipes {and a trip to the sink} to remove excess paint from their hand.
* Now are the details. Squirt your remaining paint colors on the same paper plate from earlier.
* Paint on a bandana design and smile on the green handprint design.
* Follow that up by hot gluing the wiggle eyes in place.
* To finish off our artwork, if desired, add a dotted pattern around the edge of the canvas. This was done by using the bottom end of my foam paint brush. I just dabbed it in paint, then on the canvas. At this point in time you can also add your child’s age or name around the design.
* Finally, once done decorating, set it aside to let it dry completely.
