Happy Rainbow Prints

By Cindy Hopper

There seems to be no better time of the year than around St. Patrick’s Day to paint a rainbow!

These fun little prints amaze kids! They won’t believe half a rainbow can be turned into a whole rainbow!

Tap a finger or pencil on the handle of the paintbrush and your rainbow will receive a beautiful sprinkle of glitter!
