Directions:

· Fold the paper in half and open it again. Cover half of the paper so your child can only paint on one side.

· Pour paint on to a paper plate or suitable surface.

· Have your child use the cotton balls to dab the paint on the paper. Once the child is done painting, fold the clean paper on to the painted side and press down.

· Open the paper and observe how the paint transferred to the other side!
