I am a library assistant and due to Covid all our programs are now online. Just like everyone else! I film a craft video every week as well as have curbside craft pick up. I would love to have the children make wish flowers. May I use your templates? I would include link in description box. Thank you!

Mollie Jordan says
How did you get the template to download? Thanks!!!
Jennifer says
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.
Jeanine says
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!
Nicole says
It won’t download for me to print? Super cute though!

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.”
Linda Lantz says
I can’t get the whole dandelion to print. What am I doing wrong?
Alison says
Hi! This looks fantastic! Can you tell me if the file is meant for printing on A4 or A3? Cheers.
