With spring breezes whispering in the air and nature coming back to life, it’s time to capture the joy of transformation and new beginnings – in the form of a craft, of course! Children are natural artists, and they thrive when given the opportunity to create.
This season, we present a craft idea that merges the whimsy of caterpillars and the promise of budding trees, providing a tactile, interactive project for children to express their creativity!
We’ll guide you through the creation of fingerprint caterpillars on a handprint tree branch – an activity that’s not only a blast for little ones but also serves as a meaningful keepsake!
Craft Supplies:
- Blue Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Green Cardstock Paper
- Pencil/Marker
- Scissors
- Adhesive
- Washable Craft Paint
- Small Paper Plate
- Flower Embellishments
Directions:
- First things first – grab a single sheet of tan or brown cardstock paper and your choice of writing utensil.
- Pick a hand – any hand will do!
- Lay it flat on the cardstock paper and trace around the hand & arm. This is the start of the tree branch.
- When ready, trim out the traced design with your scissors.
- Next up – grab your glue stick and glue the handprint/arm cutout to your light blue cardstock paper.
- Follow that up by making several “fingerprint dots” for the caterpillars on the tree branch.
- The last step is to cut out a few small leaves from the green cardstock paper and glue those on as well.
- Now add any other embellishments you see fit {like flowers to give it the experience of spring.}
- Then display your caterpillars on tree branch paper piece proudly for all to admire!
