How To Use Cardboard Stencils
Mini boss Dylan had great fun with his cardboard stencils. Once he had finished designing what shapes he wanted to use, he then went outside to have fun with them.
You simply lay your stencils on the ground and then spray the stencil with water, ensuring you have covered the cut-out area with loads of water.
