About This Project

A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 3–7, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, White Glue, and Markers.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Handprint and Footprint Flower Craft

    Your creative buddy says:
    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Make the leaves

    Put green paint on your foot. Make angled footprints at the bottom of the paper like a 'V'. Do it again with your other foot.

    Step 2: Make the flowers

    Put paint on your hand. Make a handprint on the top part of the paper. Do it again until you have as many flowers as you want. Let the paint dry.

    Step 3: Draw stems

    Use the marker to draw stems for the flowers. You can also decorate the page.

    Step 4: Add flower centers

    Cut out shapes from the yellow paper. Glue them to the middle of the flowers. Hearts are nice, but you can use any shape you like. Ask an adult for help if you need it.
