Firmly press your child’s hand on the corner of the canvas. Lift up in one quick motion. Be careful not to smear their hand on the canvas. Allow the paint to dry completely. Let your child paint a rainbow coming off of the fingertips. Allow the paint to dry completely.

If you are creating the canvas with the grass, you will first dip your child’s finger in green paint and have them press it along the bottom of the canvas to create grass blades.
