Handprint Flower In Pot Keepsake Craft For Kids

Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s painted handprint flowerpot keepsake tutorial post!

On that note, it’s hard to believe {I’m probably jinxing myself as I type this up} but there is NO snow in our forecast for the next TEN days.

Apparently Wyoming IS getting the message that spring is suppose to be here!

I’m not complaining at all {I’ll save the complaining for when the snow returns} but I’m just shocked that the weather is working in my favor this week.

We are meeting up with my husband at his military training today and watching him graduate tomorrow morning.

It’s been a long six weeks and I’m ready for things to get back to normal. At least, as much as they can be. So with that being said – go away snow!!! Don’t come back till the end of the year. 😉

Now enough about me and my anger towards snow – back to the blog post.

Today I’m sharing a VERY easy kid craft. I call it Handprint and Paper Flowerpot. BAM! Just as simple as the name.

So moms – no excuses! From the crafty expert to the novice – this kid friendly craft is super SIMPLE! It’s in honor of spring but honestly it can be done all year long! I’m planning on putting our piece in my scrapbook but I could see this being turned into a Mother’s Day gift or home decor on the cheap!

Find all the crafty details below in the full paper handprint flower pot craft tutorial and recreate it with your child today! I just know you are going to love the end result!
