Helping Me Grow Craft Idea For Kids
Inspired by spring and school sadly coming to a close soon for the year, today’s Thumbprint Flower Garden craft idea is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this DIY keepsake activity together and creating a great piece to gift to someone who is molding our next generation!
In this #gluedtomycrafts post, I’ve included a FREE flower garden themed printable template, so all you need to do is print the file in color on white cardstock paper, grab some of your favorite colored ink pads and have children decorate the flower box with thumbprint flower petals. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to pull it together!
So let’s get to it! Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable “helping me grow” themed craft today. I hope you enjoy making it with your child as well! Happy crafting my friends!
