Clay card paint
Step by step
* Roll out the clay and carefully cut round each child's hand.
* When the clay is dry the children can paint their clay hand.
* Varnish the clay hand, with a spray if possible, and mount on the card. (Hand prints can be used as an alternative.) Extension activity:
* Sing these words to the tune of 'What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor'. Ask the children to suggest verses.
