Materials: orange paint, green paint, yellow paint, brown paint, red paint, black paint, sharpies, plates (I got mine from the Dollar Tree for $1!!!), and high gloss finishing spray.
I brought the students back to my table one at a time. I painted their palm and thumb brown and the other fingers orange, red, yellow, and green. I placed their hand on the plate and pressed down. Once the hand print dried, I had them write Happy Thanksgiving and their name in a sharpie. Then they put their finishing touches on their turkeys. I let these dry for a day or so and then sprayed them with the finishing spray.
I am really excited about how these turned out!! I was also surprised with how excited the kids were. I can't wait to start our Cookies For Santa plates!!!
What kind of paint did you use?

DeleteI used washable paint, but they started to chip. I used acrylic paint on my Christmas plates and they turned out much better!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :)
ReplyDeleteAre these plates for display only?
ReplyDeleteYes mine were for display only because I used a Modge Podge sealing spray and I wouldnt trust eating off of it. I am sure that you could find a paint that could seal in the oven and be used to eat on but handwash only.
