Paper Plate Flower With Handprint Petals - Kid Craft Idea

Flower Petal Handprint Craft

Raise your hand if you are ready for warmer weather. I know I am! With the kind of winter we have had lately in Wyoming, we are anxiously waiting for the first official signs of spring.

Although we are experiencing some good temps in our area this week, Wyoming likes to play tricks on us {seriously – it can still snow in June} so I’m not holding my breathe too much just yet. But I am getting a little excited and may be hiding the heavy coat in the back of the closet soon!

To get ready to celebrate the upcoming warmer weather, we have been cranking out the spring themed kid crafts in our house, left & right. One of my favorite crafts so far happens to be today’s post and it’s titled Paper Plate & Handprint Flower!

And just like ALL our kid friendly crafts & tutorials on the blog – this paper plate activity is super simple, fun for all ages and really inexpensive too. PLUS it makes for great decorations in the house, as you patiently wait for spring weather to arrive.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab supplies, think some good thoughts about the weather and get to work on this simple DIY craft ASAP. You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your flowers made from paper plates with us by tagging our account on Instagram. I seriously can’t wait to see how adorable those little paper handprint flower petals turn out! #gluedtomycrafts
