Using the cardboard tubes, pinch 1 of them to create an oval shape for the tail.
Squirt the paint onto a flat plate.
Using a large beaker or similar let the child dip into the paint and press onto the card for the face.
Using one of the toilet roll tubes again dip into the paint and create multiple circles around the head to make the mane.
Using a small cardboard tube or circular lid dip into the paint and press to create the ears, popping a fingerprint in paint inside the ears.
