Steps

	1.	Draw one or more ducks on acetate film or transparent film with a black permanent marker. A trick in doing this perfectly is to first draw your duck on paper, put the transparent film on top of the paper and then trace the outline of your drawing onto the transparent film.
	2.	Cut the ducks. Run your fingers around the cut-outs to check for any sharp edges. Round out any sharp edges.
	3.	Place a small amount of liquid soap or shampoo on your palette.
	4.	Add in some poster paint and mix.
	5.	You can use a paint brush to paint the duck.
	6.	Or use your fingers to paint. The paint has an interesting texture and a very pleasant smell.
	7.	When the paint dries, you can stick the ducks on a sunny window to make wonderful sun catchers.
	8.	Or you can give these ducks a bath to remove the paint. Set them aside for another painting session.
