This Handprint Daffodil Craft is super easy for your preschoolers and elementary grades to make and is so bright and cheery! It’s a lovely spring flower craft and a super way to decorate the home or classroom.
If you’re in the UK these handprint daffodils are also lovely as a Mother’s Day craft in March. Kids could write a special message for their mum on the flower stem or mount them onto card and write on the back.
We just love handprint crafts here on Kids Craft Room. They are so fun to create and they make such gorgeous keepsakes to enjoy over the years as your children’s hands grow.
You might like to make this handprint daffodil craft alongside our Paper Plate Pop Up Daffodils, Paper Hyacinths and Tissue Paper Snowdrops. They’re all lovely spring flower crafts for kids.

How To Make Spring Daffodil Flowers
1 – Paint a paper cup orange inside and out. (You can leave the bottom plain because it won’t show.)
2 – Cut out 4 handprints from yellow cardstock. We folded two sheets in half and drew around one hand and then cut out all four together to save time.
3 – To make the inner part of your daffodil flower, snip into the top of the orange paper cup all the way around. Then gently bend the tabs outwards a little.
4 – Glue the heels of your handprints together to make the daffodils petals with the fingers.
5 – Cut a flower stem and long leaves from green cardstock.
6 – Glue the handprint flower head to the top of the stem and glue on the leaves to the side of the stem.
7 – Finish your handprint daffodil craft by gluing the orange paper cup into the middle of the petals.
