Sunflower Handprint Art Craft

I love to do easy craft projects with items from around my home. Since I have a toddler, who likes to create things, I always have scissors and glue.

I also try to keep construction paper in my house. I go through the paper pretty quickly. So, I like to buy a big pack of construction paper. You can sometimes find it at Sam’s Club or Costco.

This sunflower handprint art project is so easy to make with your children. They will enjoy creating the flower and gluing everything together.

My daughter loves learning about flowers. This is a great way to create a simple project that provides a learning experience. You could easily look up flower pictures online and try to replicate them with handprints.

If you want to make a variety of flowers, you could easily make handprints out of several colors of construction paper. You could create different flowers by arranging the handprints in other patterns.

Here is another great craft project that uses construction paper.
