This type of cookie-cutter (they all look the same) craft goes against everything I learned while becoming and being an art teacher.

BUT what I’ve learned while being a parent is that every mama LOVES their preschool child’s handprint, and every child loves a craft, cookie-cutter or not. No matter what holiday or cheesy craft it’s incorporated in.

And a RAINBOW HANDPRINT… Who can you resist that?!

Check out how we transformed my Priscilla’s handprint into a colorful rainbow coming out of a pot of gold – perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day!

Here’s how you and your kiddo can make this adorable handprint rainbow craft, too…

St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Handprint Craft

Supplies:
  • black and white construction paper
  • scissors
  • washable paint in rainbow colors
  • paint brush, water, and paper towels
  • all-purpose glue
  • foil wrappers from gold coin chocolate candy
  • white paint pen
Steps to Make a St. Patrick's Day Rainbow Handprint Craft at B-InspiredMama.com
Steps:

1. Paint rainbow stripes on hand in the order of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
2. Press down onto top center of the white paper to make a rainbow handprint.  Let dry.
3. Glue gold foil candy wrappers onto the white paper at the base of the handprint.  Overlap them a little.
4. Don’t forget to enjoy the chocolate coins!
5. Cut out a half circle pot shape from black construction paper.  Glue black pot onto the white paper just below the gold coins.  Overlap the coins a little to make it look like they are inside the pot.  Let the glue dry.
6. Use the white paint pen to write “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!” on the pot of gold.

This would be so fun to do with a group of preschoolers at a St. Patrick’s Day party!  If you could get them past the chocolate eating step that is…

    Hi! I’m sorry to post this here, but I couldn’t find a way to email you. I’m a staff writer at adoption.com. I’m writing an article on St. Patrick’s day crafts that adoptive families can send to their children’s birth parents. I would like to feature this article. This would entail me using one of the images from your site and linking to your article. Do I have your permission? Thank you!

      Oh, I could see that, too. Maybe cutting a hand out and then letting them color the rainbow stripes on it? How did you do it?

      I have done a versino of this when I worked with preschoolers but without the chocolate candy. Just gold circles.. or the best that they could cut them out. I believe in a child doing his own work no matter how it comes out.. thanks for sharing..
