Handprint Sunflower Craft

This Handprint Sunflower Craft is a beautiful summer keepsake. It’s great for keeping kids busy, too, as they can get creative both their hands and fingerprints. We made one sunflower with my 11 year old daughter’s handprint and the other is my 2 1/2 year old son. It’s fun to see how much bigger her sunflower came out than his.

Sunflowers are my favorite kind of flower. I just love how tall and bold they are, definitely like bursts of sunshine in the yard. We planted our own this year, and I can’t wait for them to grow and bloom.

Begin by tracing the little one’s handprint.

You will need 4 handprints of the yellow paper. We folded the paper lengthwise and then that in half again to make 4 sections, then traced our handprint on the front. We were then able to cut out 4 at one time.
