Paint three fingertips with red paint and print around the circle (like red berries). Wash that hand and carefully dry it. Using the narrow paintbrush, paint a red bow. Alternatively, make a bow with the red ribbon and stick to the picture (as shown). Set aside to dry. When dry, you can write family names on each hand.
Christmas tree:

Print each hand, one hand dark green and one hand light green (as shown). Wash and carefully dry your hands. Using the narrow paintbrush, paint a red star at the top of the tree.
Family hands:
Each member of the family chooses to paint or roll one hand with the paint colour they best like. Make sure everyone paints the same hand – either all left hands or all right hands. Every person must have a different colour paint. Remember to include your pets! When the paint has dried, write either your family name and year or just the words ‘Our family’. If you want, you can write each person’s name around the side edge of the canvas and the colour of their hand e.g. Lily (green).
Evidence Submission:
To complete this challenge, you need to take a photograph of your tower and send it to your Patrol leader.
