If you go to an arts supply store, they should be able to help you find the right kind of paints for the handprints. I did this once years ago. I think it was acrylic paints made for fabric, and I think I heat set the prints. It was messy, but acrylics clean up pretty easily. We used paper plates to hold the paint.
