Handprint Flower Bouquet

Let’s turn little hands into a beautiful bouquet! In this fun and creative activity, children will use paint to make handprints that transform into colorful flowers. Each handprint becomes a “bloom,” and when placed together, they create a lovely bouquet. This activity encourages creativity, fine motor development, and self-expression. Children will explore colors, practice following simple directions, and take pride in creating something meaningful for someone special.

Materials: Washable paint, construction paper, paintbrushes, markers/crayons, and optional ribbon or paper stems.
