  • Place your paper onto the wet foil and then put it aside to dry.
  • Meanwhile cut the shape of your mountain range out of your black paper or cardstock. You may want to draw this in pencil first.

  • Use white chalk to dray snow on the top of your mountains.
  • Once your now coloured paper is dry, glue your mountain range onto the bottom of it.

Notes

I've used white paper for the horizonal picture and white cardstock for the vertical one. Both work but the cardstock can cope with more liquid on it before it gets over saturated so if your child is likely to do a lot of spraying then cardstock may be the better option.
