Step 1. Download and print the free printable template.
This dandelion art project comes with a digital download that is free for personal use. Grab your copy below and add it to your early year classroom resources.
2. Dip your fingers into the paint or ink, then press them down along the outer edge of the dandelion head.
I’ve found that one of the best ways to make this dandelion art for toddlers, is to aim for the little dot on the end of the dandelion bits. The dots make a good target for where to place your finger prints.
3. Let your artwork dry.
This dandelion fingerprint art makes a wonderful handmade gift for Mother’s day. Send it home to parents and let your students’ moms know how much they are appreciated.
More ways to use this free printable for kids
You can also print this template on a blue background, then make a thumbprint dandelion with white paint.
Or don’t use paint at all. Instead of using the template to make dandelion art, use it as a fine motor mat with sequins. This is a great way for young kids and older kids to develop fine motor skills.
