- Yellow washable tempera paint

Instructions:
1. Download and print our “Brightest Bulb in Kindergarten” template.
2. Cover your child’s hand completely in yellow paint and have them stamp their hand to create a “bulb” on top of the black base.
3. Add some flair by coloring the words at the top of the page or adding some extra details. My daughter included a few thumbprints on her page because she didn’t think one light bulb was enough, haha!
