Come on Diego's rescues every day on Nick Jr.

Materials

• Water-based face paints
• Brushes or cotton swabs
• Water for mixing the paints (and for the cleanup)
• Washcloths, wipes, or paper towels (just in case)

Directions

1. Step 1

   First the nose. Start with pink to make an upside-down triangle, rounding out the edges on the tip of the nose.

2. Step 2

   Then draw a black line from the bottom center of the nose down just halfway towards the upper lip. Now, draw a large open <i>J</i> to the left and then the same to the right.

3. Step 3

   Next, draw three small dots on both sides--between the nose and upper lip.

4. Step 4

   Add whiskers--two on each side.

5. Step 5

   Now draw brown spots on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. They should be uneven, just like a jaguar.

6. Step 6

   Put white or a lighter shade of brown in the center of the two largest spots.

7. Step 7

   For tigers, just add stripes.
