- Ask your child to pick which hand they will use for the DIY. My suggestion is to lay the hand on the printable {unpainted} and decide before adding paint.
- Now paint your child’s hand completely with the craft paint & press in the center of the printable to make the BODY OF THE DOG.
- Clean off excess paint from the hand with baby wipes and finally with soap & water at the sink.
