Mango Tree

Finger painting mango tree
Another fun activity. Hand painting.. I painted Lil P's hand brown and asked her to put the imprint on paper. Then we painted the forefinger green n made the leaves. Lil P's facination with mangoes continues .. so some yellow dots here and there and we have a mango tree ready!

We did this using water colors on an A4 sheet. This can be done using acrylic colors on a T-shirt too. Acrylic colors are easy to remove from kids hands as they peel off once dry. Would make a great Birthday day gift (for your spouse) don't u think?

PS: If you are painting on a Tee make sure you put a cardboard between the layers before you start off.
