I’m a sucker for anything handprint from my girls. I love seeing the growth from year to year through their hands. You probably know this because I like to post project and gift ideas using handprints. Of course I had to make another Mother’s Day Handprint Flower Printable for 2016.
These always make a fun gift for grandmas too because it’s one of a kinda artwork from their favorite children.
They are quick but can be messy so I suggest having some wet wipes nearby. Also, clothes that are okay to have paint on them, and a surface that could get paint on it. 😉
Other then the suggestions above, you’re going to need the free printable, which you can download below, some paint, a paper plate to put the paint on, and a paint brush.
Paint your child’s hand so that you can control the amount. Then they can place the hand on a stem.
You can also let them use their creativity to make flowers with their fingers or thumbs.
This can get on the messy side so beware and have your wipes handy.
I loved watching how she made each flower.
A fun little action shot of her showing me her painted thumb.
And there you have it. You can have each child complete one page each, or have each child do only one flower. This project is so fun and each one is unique.

Cute! It would be fun if there was a spot for “to: ______ from: ______” so they could write their name in
So cute. Love her little thumb prints.
Hello-I am getting the same error message for anything I try to download from your site. It says ‘Image can’t be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and the image exists.’ I’ve noticed others are having similar issues on the mom/dad questionnaires. Is there anyway to correct this issue? I think your stuff is awesome and would love to be able to use it!
I’m having trouble as well. It doesn’t download it just shows the picture, but isn’t ready to print. Thanks for sharing your talents!
When you click to open for the download it will open the picture in a new window. You can right click and save as a download or print from there.
Love this! Simple and easy. Lasting on our Mothers Day and Father’s Day gallery wall. Thank you.
Adorable! Is there any way you can change the nameplate to 2017? Thank you for all your fabulous work!
