Handprint Flower

Flowers made from the handprints of one or more children make wonderful gifts!

Project Info

Materials

• Paper or Cardstock
• Washable Paint

Instructions

1. Paint your child's hand, or, f doing this activity with older children, have them paint their own hand.
2. Place the hand on a piece of paper and remove to leave a print. Then turn the paper a little and place the hand again. Continue until you have a circle of hand prints. (You may need to repaint the hand in-between prints).
3. An adult or older child can now paint a stem and leaves to the flower.

Tips

1. You might like to add a center to your flower by painting a circle or with lots of thumb prints.
2. Instead of painting leaves, you could do green footprints.
3. Sprinkle glitter on the wet paint for a sparkly picture
