Connect the figures etc by drawing shapes around and between them.
Colour in the figures and shapes in strong colours using watercolours, pastels, markers or crayons.
Outline the figures and shapes with thickish black marker.
Turn the page over on to a sheet of newspaper and lightly paint the back with cooking oil.
Leave the picture resting between two sheets of newspaper overnight to dry.
