What materials do you need for the handprint flower?

The activity requires only a few basic supplies:

• Printed Grandma sunflower design

• Washable, child-safe paint

• Paintbrush or sponge

• Paper towels or wipes

Yellow paint works especially well with the sunflower artwork, while another color can be used if the child wants to create a different look.

How do you make the Grandma sunflower handprint craft?

Print the design at 100% or actual size. Apply a thin, even layer of washable paint across the child’s palm and fingers.

Help the child position the painted hand above the printed stem. Spread the fingers, gently press the hand onto the page, and lift it straight upward.

Allow the paint to dry completely before displaying the finished artwork or giving it to Grandma.

How do you get a clean handprint with young children?

A simple setup makes the activity easier:

• Apply paint with a brush or sponge

• Avoid using an overly thick coat

• Cover the palm and fingers evenly

• Spread the fingers before pressing

• Press once and lift straight up

Have wipes ready before starting so the child’s hand can be cleaned immediately afterward.
