  • Paper roll (a piece of white card stock will work too)
  • Tape (thick shipping tape)
  • Washable kids paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Paper towels (to wipe the nails)
  • Craft scissors
  • Permanent marker

 

Instructions:

  • Begin by cutting off a large piece of paper from the paper roll (about 12″ x 14″). A piece of white card stock will work too.
  • Trace both of your hands on the paper using the permanent marker. You can either trace your hands or your child’s hands.
  • Now, tape the paper to the table. Make sure to tape all of the paper and sides securely to create a laminated top.
  • Arrange the washable kids paint and paintbrush. 

Let the little ones paint the nails using the washable kids paint and a paintbrush. Wipe with a damp paper towel to do it all over again!
