Together
Uga’s paw in magic sand
A print that stays, like the ones in caves.
Long before there were words, people pressed their hands onto cave walls. This is the same gesture, made today, in a tray.
Step by step
-
Make the magic sand
Eight spoons of sand, one of cornflour, a splash of oil. Mix.
-
Spread it flat
Fill the tray and smooth the top with your palm.
-
Press your hand
Whole hand, fingers apart, and lift it straight up.
-
Look at it together
Whose hand is bigger? Whose fingers are longer?
Uga’s tip
Uga would have made exactly this print, thousands of years ago.
