1. Paint the child’s hand light blue.

3. Let the paint dry.
4. Paint a round blue head at the end of the thumb.
5. Add white details by painting a small eye and a white stripe around the neck.
6. Draw a small orange triangle beak.
7. Use a marker to add the finishing details: Draw the legs and feet, outline the white neck stripe, and add the pupil to the eye.
