Tissue Paper & Handprint Rainbow Craft For Kids
A BIG happy Monday to you all!
Today I’m sharing how to make a rainbow out of tissue paper, that is not only PERFECT for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday BUT it’s also great to do in honor of spring.
I call this kid friendly craft our Tissue Paper Rainbow w/Handprint Clouds and it in-cooperates easy supplies like glue, colorful tissue paper, cardstock and even a simple, inexpensive paper plate.
It’s super simple, fun for all ages and really inexpensive too. Sides that, who can resist a craft that showcases their child’s little hands in it? No one – I tell ya! Those handprint cloud cutouts are the CUTEST!
So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and follow our step-by-step tutorial below to make your own one-of-a-kind rainbow out of tissue paper and paper plates!
