2. Handprint “Lil’ Sprout” Garden

Celebrate the “growing” theme by turning a green handprint into a sprout popping out of the dirt. This is a great way to teach kids about how plants start from seeds.

  • Materials: Green and brown paint, white paper.
  • Steps:
    • Paint the hand green and press it upside down (fingers pointing down) on the top half of the paper.
    • Paint a brown “mound” of dirt at the bottom.
    • Connect the hand to the dirt with a green stem. The fingers become the leaves of the new sprout!
