Parts Of A Flower Handprint Craft

March 22, 2021

Need a fun craft for your bulletin board? We've got you covered with this Parts Of A Plant Handprint Craft to go along with your plant unit.

Learning about plants and flowers is a favorite of mine for springtime. I’m a huge sucker for handprint crafts too! So today, I’m sharing with your a fun Parts Of A Plant Handprint Craft to go along with your plant unit. I also have a free printable part of a flower printable for you too!

I love using crafts to help kids learn. Hands-on activities help them retain what they are learning better and they are getting in some great fine motor skills work with tracing their hands and cutting everything out.

  • pencil
  • glue stick
  • can of food or something similar in size to trace a circle for the middle of the flower

To Make the Craft

To make the parts of a flower handprint craft, you’ll want to start by having the students trace their hands 4 different times on the color paper that they chose for their flower.

Next, they will trace their hands 2 times on both the green and the brown paper. Also using the green paper, they will need to cut a strip approx an inch thick, which doesn’t have to be perfect, the length of the piece of construction paper to use as the stem. You’ll then have them trace around the can of food on the yellow paper to make a circle. Now, have them cut out their 8 handprints and the circle.

To make the flower, have them layout the 4 same-colored handprints in a circle so they are all touching just a bit. (Tip-have them place the side they traced-outlined on face down so you don’t see the pencil marks.) Next, have them use their glue stick on the circle and place it in the middle of the 4 hands.

For the next part, they will need the stem and the 2 green handprints, and 2 brown handprints. They will use the glue stick to attach the 2 green handprints to the stem as leaves and then the 2 brown handprints to the bottom of the stem as the roots. Last, have them put some glue on the top of the stem and attach the flower.

After the flower is all put together, we also then labeled the parts of the flower using a marker. These are so fun hanging up in the classroom for spring!

I also made a free parts of a flower printable to go along with the craft too. I made 2 options for it as well. The first option, the kids cut and glue the parts of a flower in the correct spot and let them color it. I also made a version that the kids can write in the answers, or you can even use it for a little quiz or review after going over them together as a group.
