Well I don't know about the toddlers you know but my 1/2 brother, who is almost 3, doesn't like to get messy. He is ok with playing in the dirt but doesn't like things on his hand. So when it was time to make a hand print for Mother's Day- he was ok until I said that I was going to paint his hand. He ran into his cave.
So what did I do? I paniced for a moment then had the idea to have him paint mine first! He chose the color for mine- purple- and then I started to paint my hand and offered him a paintbrush. I put the paint on my hand and then he continued to help. We put my hand on the canvas and he pushed my hand down and then helped me wash my hands.
Now it was his turn. He was actualy VERY excited to do his now! He chose the color and I asked if I could paint his hand- he said yes. So I painted his hand and then we counted to 3 and placed it on the canvas. I told him not to move it and I pressed down to make sure I had it all down. We then lifted it up and I carried him to the bathroom to wash his hand.
They came out BEAUTIFUL! :) We have 1 more hand to do and then we will have a set of 3- One of each of us!
