The Olympics are in full gear and what better way to celebrate than by making a fun Olympic-themed craft? If you know me, you know I love keepsake handprint crafts. So I decided to combine the two for this cute craft!

What You’ll Need

White poster board
Blue, red, black, yellow & green paint
Paintbrush

WHITE POSTER BOARD
You’ll need a white poster board or large paper. Depending on what age your kids are you may need a bigger board for larger handprints. I had to use two poster boards and tape them together so it was big enough.

BLUE, RED, BLACK, YELLOW & GREEN PAINT
I used acrylic paint in all of the Olympic ring colors.

PAINTBRUSH
You’ll need a brush for the painting.

Let’s Get Started

STEP #1
Paint your child’s hand blue. Place the handprint on the upper left side of the poster board. Repeat until you have made a full circle of handprints.

I used both of my kids for this craft. We did a total of 6 handprints for each circle. I alternated my daughter and son’s handprints for each circle.

STEP #2
Paint your child’s hand black. Place the handprint on the upper middle side of the poster board. Repeat until you have made a full circle of handprints.

STEP #3
Paint your child’s hand red. Place the handprint on the upper right side of the poster board. Repeat until you have made a full circle of handprints.

STEP #4
Paint your child’s hand yellow. Place the handprint on the lower left side in between the blue and black circles on the poster board. Repeat until you have made a full circle of handprints.

STEP #5
Paint your child’s hand green. Place the handprint on the lower right side in between the black and red circles on the poster board. Repeat until you have made a full circle of handprints.

Blue, black, red, yellow, and green handprints

And there you have it! A fun keepsake Olympic-themed craft. Happy creating!
