Notes Caption: "FINGER PAINTING AND SPATTER PAINTING--The girl at the left is illustrating the use of finger paints, in which process the paint is applied by hand and designs are drawn, using only the fingers and palms. Highly decorative book covers are produced in this way. The boy and girl, standing, are spatter painting. In this process, a cut-out of a design is placed on a sheet of paper, which is then sprayed, or spattered, by rubbing a stick or pencil across the bristles of an old toothbrush which has been dipped in paint. When the cut-out is removed, pictures, such as the three in the upper right-hand corner, are the result."
