Fingerprint Flowers

How we did it:
Materials List
- paint
- paper
- paper plate (optional)
- fabric paint (or acrylic paint)
- materials to decorate (optional) - apron, T-shirt, tote bag, etc.
-
Paint and paper--that's all this one requires! If you'd like to paint permanently onto fabric, use either fabric paints, or acrylic craft paints. (But remind the little ones it doesn't come off things!)
-
We have played with this craft a few times, now. First on paper. Then again. Then we had the idea for a t-shirt!
-
And today, we picked up book bags and an apron at the craft store, for just few dollars.
-
On the paper we experimented with creating different flowers: hyacinths...two-petaled flowers...centers with surrounding petals...tall, dotted reeds....
-
Madeleine mixed colors on paper plates to come up with peaches and rosy pinks.
-
When she decided upon her favorite flowers, she set to work on the cloths.
-
This is now her designated library bag...she'll simply put her chosen treasures in her bag, instead of mine! Wonderful.
