In this craft, make a beautiful rainbow out of children's handprints. You can use it to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
In this project, the handprints of many children form a beautiful rainbow. This craft makes a great classroom decoration or bulletin board. This project is good for a group of children (it is too big a project for just one or two children).
- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple construction paper
- A large piece of neutral-colored paper (about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 ft long), or work directly on a bulletin board
- Scissors
- A pencil and a marker
- Glue
Instructions
Using the colored construction paper, have the children trace their hands. Make about 10 handprints of each of the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).
Cut out the hand prints and put the child’s name on his or her print.
Glue the handprints onto the paper (or staple on a bulletin board) in a rainbow shape.
You now have a Handprint Rainbow to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
