1. Begin by tracing your child’s handprint. You will need 4 handprints of the yellow paper. Fold the paper lengthwise and the in half again to make 4 sections, then trace the handprint on the front so you can cut out 4 at one time.

2. Also cut a handprint out of the green cardstock, as well as a long strip for the stem. 

3. Glue the green handprint onto the stem. 

4. Glue one palm of one yellow handprint on top of another to form a flower shape.

5. Dip a fingertip into the black paint. Paint fingerprints in a circular pattern in the center of the sunflower. Add a  few brown fingerprints, too, for dimension. Let the glue dry. 

6. Glue the sunflower top onto the stem.
