Fun Well Done: Hand and Foot Print Flowers with Vase

Kids love projects with their hand and foot prints. It really gives them ownership to their artwork. Check out this simple and creative craft:

What you need:

• Child
• 3 different colors sheets of construction paper
• 1 green sheet construction paper
• Crayons or markers
• Glue or tape
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Tell your child they are making flowers out of their hands and feet and are going to put them in a vase.
2. Trace child’s right & left hand on 1 sheet of colored construction paper. You can trace a little up the arm to make the handprint a little bigger.
3. Trace child’s right & left foot on 1 sheet of colored construction paper.
4. Depending on child’s age and cutting ability you or the child cut out the hand and foot prints.
5. Cut 4 green stems from construction paper. We folded our stems like an accordion. (See Photo)
6. Cut out a shape of a vase from last sheet of construction paper.
7. Have child color with crayons or markers on the vase, feet, and hands (even the stems if they like). I told my 4 year old son to put finger and toe nails on his hand and foot prints which he found quite amusing.
8. Attach the stems to the vase with glue or tape. Attach the flowers(hands and feet) to the stems and hang up your child’s masterpiece!
