4. Handprint “Growing” Garden

This is a classic “keepsake” craft. By using the child’s hand as the flower, parents get a precious memory of how small their hands were in the spring of 2026.

  • Materials: Non-toxic washable paint, white cardstock, green markers.
  • Steps:
    • Paint the child’s palm and fingers their favorite bright color.
    • Press the hand firmly onto the paper.
    • Once dry, draw a green stem “growing” down from the palm.
