To get the best possible impression, we recommend that you apply a generous layer of paint on your hand using the roller provided. For an adult hand, you can go as far as using the entire tube of paint supplied with the Baby Art product; for a child, use half the tube. Please also ensure that you spread the paint over the whole of your hand (no gaps) so that the impression of your hand is marked well on whatever medium you are using. Gently put your hand on the frame with your fingers well spread out, but without pushing too hand to avoid sliding, and that way you’ll get a beautiful hand impression.
