Author: Vicky

Materials

  • Terra cotta flower pot
  • Acrylic paint variety of colors
  • Paintbrushes
  • Clear sealer optional

Instructions

  • Start by painting the entire flower pot with a base color of your choice. Allow it to dry completely.
  • Dip your child's hand into different colors of acrylic paint, creating a rainbow effect by painting each finger a different color.
  • Carefully press your child's painted hand onto the side of the flower pot to make a handprint. Gently lift their hand off and allow the paint to dry.
  • Touch up any areas as needed and add extra designs or patterns for decoration.
  • Once everything is dry, apply a clear sealer for durability (optional).
  • Add a plant or flowers to the pot, and enjoy your beautiful keepsake!

Notes

  • Work with one hand at a time to keep things simple and minimize the mess. Trust us, it’ll make the process much smoother!
  • Choose high-quality paint for bright, vibrant colors that really pop—you want your rainbow to shine!
  • Keep baby wipes nearby for quick and easy cleanup. They’re a total lifesaver if things get a little messy.
