materials:

• Finger paint (purples, pinks)
• Paintbrush
• Watercolors
• White card stock
• Plate

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the finger paint (if you need to) by placing a little bit of purple and pink paint onto a plate.
2. First, using the paintbrush and green watercolors, draw a few long stems and leaves for the lupines.
3. Next, using the finger paint, make fingerprints with purple/pink paint starting at the top and going half way to the bottom of the stem. Make sure you stamp wider towards the bottom of the flower and narrower at the top. Let dry.

TIP- we found it to be beautiful if the purples and pinks combined a little bit on the finger. This creates a beautiful two tones lupine!
