As the weather starts to warm up and the days grow longer, kids everywhere rejoice!

It’s finally springtime, and that means plenty of opportunities for both fun outdoor and indoor activities.

One great way to celebrate the arrival of spring is by making this sweet flower handprint card craft.

This project is easy with a free template, and kids will love adding their own handprints to make the flowers come alive.

Make it for spring to give to someone special or make it specifically for Mother’s Day to give to Mom, Nana, or Grandma!
