Place both hands in paint and firmly press both hands in natural form, onto the paper, creating two asymmetrical eyes. The fingers are the eyelashes and the palm creates the eyeball. Use the handprints as the premise for a pair of jungle eyes. Using markers or paint on a paintbrush, add detail to the eyes to make them "jungle eyes" such as making tiger eyes oval and slightly slanted. Create a nose or mouth for your jungle animal by adding an additional handprint centered below the pair of eyes. The fingerprints protruding toward the pair of eyes can be the snout or an animal and the palm of this third print can be a nose or mouth.
Create single jungle animals by placing a hand in paint and then firmly pressing your hand print on a piece of paper. This handprint can now be visibly transformed into a jungle animal. Rotate the paper around with the handprint and decide which angle of the handprint works best for your animal. Using markers or paint on a paintbrush, add defining detail and characteristics. The fingers make excellent legs for an animal when the handprint is turned upside down. The thumb makes a great head, elephant trunk or a giraffe's neck. Use the palm of an upside-down handprint as a lion's face and the fingers above as the mane. Placing two hand prints together, asymmetrically, creates a butterfly or peacock where the fingers become wings.
Place a hand on a piece of paper and trace the outline of the hand using a pencil or pen. Using scissors, cut the handprint out of the paper. Decorate the hand with a jungle animal pattern like zebra stripes or a giraffe's spots. Or fill it in with a jungle animal's handprint. Research the hand or footprint of a jungle animal and replicate the print inside your own handprint using a marker.
Place hand and forearm in brown paint, obtaining an even coat of paint. Depress forearm and hand onto a piece of paper, creating a print of your forearm and handprint that resembles a tree trunk (forearm) and branches (handprint). Add leaves to the tree with fingerprints. Press your finger into green paint and replicate your fingerprint repeatedly to create leaves on the branches. Add jungle animals below the tree. Draw the jungle animals or use sticker jungle animals. Jungle animals often rest in the shade of a tree, so make some lying down to complete the scene.
