St Patrick's Day is only a few days away, but you can start the festivities now! Although this can be messy activity, it is loads of fun! And there are several variations on this art project, but this one's been the most successful for me.
What You'll Need: light blue construction paper; washable finger or tempera paint in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white; a pencil; A LOT of baby or hand wipes
1. Start by using the pencil to lightly draw 6 curved rainbow lines on the construction paper,
2. Dip your child's pointer finger in the red paint. Have them follow the top rainbow line with their finger, adding paint if necessary. Wipe your child's finger with the wipes, then do the same with the orange paint. Continue this process with each color in the order listed above.
3. Have your child make a fist. Paint the outside part of their fist with the white paint. Dab the white paint fists at the end of each rainbow or all the way across the bottom to male clouds.
