  3. I love this idea and will be making them as Thank You cards for parents in my preschool classroom. I am using your graphic and adding paint with cotton swabs. Each parent will get an end of the year card that says “Your child has helped me grow, professionally and personally, this year.”

  7. The down load link worked fine for me? Maybe it’s because it opens directly into the “box app”? If you don’t have it maybe that’s the issue? Are you working from a cell phone or PC? Good luck!

  8. This was super easy and turned out great. Thank you for the template. We completed our dandelion as a family project (everyone used a different color ink for their fingerprints) and changed the word WISH into “Wishes Do Come True.” It will make a beautiful keepsake for years to come.

  14. This is my fave of the top 10’s fm 2016. I’ve just discovered your blog and have been devouring all your holiday owl printables. Many will end up in my office to brighten my coworkers’ day. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

  16. I can’t print it either. The template shows up but the page prints blank. Help please!

  18. I love this, but can not figure out how to download the link. Is it possible for you to email it? [email protected]. I would like to use it in my classroom and as a party favor my son’s birthday party.

    Thanks!

  19. Hi Lori – unfortunately I have had several people cropping out my watermark and trying to pass it off as their own, so I had to add it else where. Since I’m providing this printable for free to my readers, the watermark is what will eventually keep traffic coming to my blog. Sorry for the inconvenience. You can always hand draw something and make copies for your class as an alternative to my printable.

  20. I am unable to print this as well. Would you be willing to e-mail to [email protected]? I think I will use one copy for a christmas present to my kids Aunt. Thank you so much- adorable idea!

  21. Hi,

    I would love to do this project with my class for open house but I can’t get the page to download. Is there a way you can email me a pdf copy? Thank you!

  23. Hi,
    I am trying to print the dandelion printout but it isn’t working for me? I was wondering if You could email me the pdf? I want to use this next week for a craft with my play date kids.
    Thank you,
    Trina

  24. Hi Trina – I’m currently away from my computer for the weekend/family time so I won’t be able to email it told Monday afternoon at the soonest. I will email it then, promise. Till then, could you tell me more about the problem you are running into? The box.com is a service I pay for so I want to fix the issue asap – Stacey

  25. Hi Stacy,
    Thank you for getting back to me.
    When I print the image it only prints a couple black dots at the top of the paper. I only have a iPad and my iPhone. Could that be why it’s not printing for me?

  26. Hi Stacey,
    Sorry to bother you again but I finally figured it out! Got the print out! So excited to do this project! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and thank you
