Handprint Flowers

Sunday, January 19 is Sanctity of Life Sunday. As believers we celebrate that God made us and He made us in His image. Before we were born, God had a plan for us. Help kids celebrate the value of life through this art activity.

Supplies: 

Bible
green, yellow, and purple paint
baby wipes
white construction paper
markers
paintbrushes (large and small)
paint smocks
paper plates

*Option: You can substitute a large single-color stamp pad and a green marker for the paint.

Read Psalm 139:13-14. Point out that God has made each child remarkably and wondrously. 

As you help each kid create their handprint flowers, remind them of these special Bible truths:

God made me, so I am special.

God loves me.

God will always love me.

God has plans for me.

Give each kid a piece of white construction paper. Help kids print I am remarkably and wondrously made on the bottom of their papers. 

Pour some yellow or purple paint onto a plate and after it spreads out, allow a kid to place their hand palm down in the paint. Guide her to stamp a handprint in the middle of the construction paper. Use a baby wipe to clean off the hand and repeat the process with the other hand.

Allow kids to use a small paintbrush and green paint to add stems to their handprint flowers.
