Process or Product? \u2013 Handprint Rainbow Painting\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Handprint rainbow painting can create beautiful rainbow arc pictures like the ones above but this kind of \u201cfinished\u201d piece should be just one possible part of the painting experience.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s super important that we let the kids really experience and explore the paints on their hands and how they behave on the paper. Process is more important than product!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Letting children really experiment will result in rainbows of all shapes and sizes and colour combinations. If your kids love the smearing process you may end up with a completely brown painting!<\/p>\n

Artistic and sensory exploration is so important<\/strong> for kids and we should strive to put any desires we have for a \u201cfinished\u201d piece to one side, instead valuing what the children create themselves and what and when they see it as finished.<\/p>\n

Have fun!<\/p>\n
