- Use baby wipes to clean off excess paint from their hand and send your child to the sink for a quick wash up as well.
- Then set aside the printable to let it dry completely.
- When ready {and the paint is dry} grab a Sharpie marker and draw on kite embellishments on the handprint.
- Follow by that up by adding other embellishments you see fit {like some glitter on the handprint or bows on the kite string design} as well as having children sign the bottom.
