<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 We create the Cat in The Hat handprint craft by painting his head and hat with one handprint and and then his body with another. To begin, paint the palm of your hand with a big white circle with a black border, this will be his face. Then paint your fingers with red and white stripes leaving the thumb clean.<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Press your painted hand onto the canvas<\/a> or cardboard to create a print.

<\/p>\n
4 \u2013 Spin the canvas<\/a> around and make a second print joining on to the first but with the fingers going in the opposite direction to make the cat\u2019s legs and arms. (Older children will be able to spread their thumb and little fingers out to the side for the arms.)<\/p>\n5 \u2013 Use a painted fingertip to add black ears.<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 Use a painted fingertip to add a red bow tie.<\/p>\n
