Calling all mini artists with colorful imaginations! Get ready to leave your mark, quite literally, with a Rainbow Handprint Art that’ll brighten up any room.
My little Picasso had a blank canvas and craved some color. So, armed with paintbrushes and a spirit of creativity, we embarked on a handprint adventure to create the most enchanting Rainbow Handprint Art.
And she transformed our plain canvas into a joyful explosion of colors.
Directions For Rainbow Handprint Art
In this blog post, I’ll spill the paint on how to create your own Rainbow Handprint Art – step by step. So get ready to dip those tiny hands into a world of vibrant hues and create a masterpiece that’ll showcase a whole rainbow of creativity.
What You Will Need
- Construction paper or heavy cardstock paper
- Washable paint in rainbow colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
- Paintbrushes or sponge brushes
- A dish or plate for the paint
- Water and paper towels for cleaning up
- Smock or old clothes to protect your toddler’s clothing
Step 1: Prepare the Workspace
Choosing a good spot to create your rainbow handprint art is important. Pick a table with plenty of space for your toddler to move around and a surface that won’t be damaged by paint, like a table covered with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth.
Step 2: Cover Your Toddler’s Clothing
Before beginning, put a smock or old clothes on your toddler. Painting can be messy, and you want to protect your toddler’s clothing from getting ruined.
Step 3: Squeeze Paint onto a Plate or Dish
Squeeze a small amount of each paint color you want to use onto a plate or dish, making sure there is plenty of space between each color.
Step 4: Pick a Color and Paint Your Toddler’s Hand
Choose a color and have your toddler place their hand in the paint. Show them how to wiggle their fingers and make sure their whole hand is covered with paint.
Step 5: Place the Hand Down onto the Paper
Place your toddler’s hand down onto the construction paper or cardstock paper, helping them to press down on their whole hand gently. Make sure to press down on each finger and the palm of their hand to create a clear and colorful handprint.
Step 6: Clean Your Toddler’s Hand
Wipe off your toddler’s hand with a damp paper towel or a gentle baby wipe. Repeat steps 4 to 6 with other colors of the rainbow, making sure each color is dry before moving on to the next.
Step 7: Decorate With Markers or Crayons
When the rainbow handprint art is dry, let your toddler decorate it with markers or crayons. They can add their name, draw clouds, or add any other designs they want.
Step 8: Display Your Toddler’s Artwork
Display your toddler’s colorful rainbow handprint art in a special place in your home, like the fridge or a bulletin board.
Rainbow handprint art is an easy and fun activity for toddlers. It lets them explore color and texture in a creative and messy way. With just a few materials and some easy steps, you can make a beautiful and personalized piece of artwork with your toddler.
So, get your supplies ready, cover your little one with a smock, and let them have fun as they create their very own rainbow handprint masterpiece!
