Body art - a giraffe and a jelly fish

This is what we did today - a giraffe and a jellyfish.
For the giraffe...

Make a hand impression for the body

(Look at the cute tail)
Then draw a curved line for the neck and make the head
and the ear(s) with the fingers.

Then let those tiny fingers make spots and eyes and a mouth and there you are.
Your own giraffe. Ours is a bit chubby because it cannot
resist mom's cooking, you know.

For the jellyfish you make a hand impression and then press it again slightly away from the first one so that the palm covers a part of the first impression, but take care the fingers not to make marks over the existing ones.




Draw eyes and mouth and it's done.

I highly recommend you let your children experiment with watercolours because hand (and feet) painting can be quite fulfilling and it certainly let children explore their creativity and enhance their imagination.

  1. Oh this is clever! I really like the idea of outlining the print in black, it is a nice touch.
