Simple Sunflower Handprint Craft For Kids
Are you looking for a fun handprint craft for summer or fall, Mother’s Day gift or just as a way to create a memory of your child’s sweet little hands? This simple sunflower handprint craft is not only adorable, but it is so easy and your kids will love making their own little sunflower treasure.
After we made the “Little Hands Can Change The World” handprint craft for Earth Day I knew I wanted to create another one for the fall. I love sunflowers in the fall so this craft was fitting for our family. The child’s little fingers as sunflower petals and fingerprints for the seeds create a beautiful keepsake. I love the bright colors that this printable has and you could even include a package of sunflower seeds if you were making this as a gift!
Last week my little one asked to do a craft project with me, and how could I say no? This easy handprint sunflower craft was so fun to make with him and he was so proud to gift this to his Nana. It was such a fun craft for a rainy morning and we love making crafts of things we see in nature so this was a perfect craft for us!
Handprint crafts are one of my favorite things my kids bring home from school. There is something so sweet about the child’s small hands on a piece of paper and it is a great way to remember these days with little ones at home. This easy craft is great for young children and is a perfect project to welcome the fall season.
