Hand-print animal art - Carolyn Carreiro

For ages 4 to 8 years. As unique as fingerprints, hand-print art is the ultimate in self-expression. Every child's natural instinct is to stick a whole hand in a plate of paint. Add an array of paint colours, visions of real animals or those drawn in their imaginations, and creativity explodes in a burst of colour and fun! Make simple palm-out prints of a silly frog, delicate fingertip points of a giraffe, and N a spectacular, colourful peacock print. Over 60 active-learning experiences explore the unique world of fish, fowl, beasts, pets, and insects. Hand-print techniques show how to create special effects using outstretched fingers, cupped hands, pinky fingerprints, smudged thumbprints, flat-fingered ridges, and much more. Hand-Print Animal Art is designed for children aged four to ten -- and their families! Carolyn Carreiro has had a lifelong interest in working with children. As a teacher, she realises that kids of all ages gravitate to hand-print art for creative expression.
