When painting round objects, like an egg, a ball or toilet paper roll, it helps to rest it on a holder so it won’t roll off.

It also helps to ensure it stays in place and not roll around when it is drying.

Mugs and egg cartons make excellent holders 🙂

Toilet paper roll is so much fun. I don’t dispose them. I keep them and transformed them into something cute. Today, we are going to transform a TP Roll into a penguin 😀

Babies are always so cute. Let’s do a baby chicken – a footprint chick today 😀

Footprint Chick

Paint your foot yellow

Stamp your painted footprint onto a drawing block

Paint 3 fingers and stamp onto the footprint as the wing

Add details and an extra HUGE googly eyes for the maximum cuteness effect 😀 You might want to paint the chick's feet orange instead of black. I regretted painting it black 🙁
