Poppies are one of my favorite flowers so I thought it'd be fun to try to make them out of thumbprints! I think they turned out very cute and could be great for putting on homemade Mother's Day cards! You can also make these fingerprint poppies for a Spring art project!
You will need red/black/green/yellow paint, white paper, and 2 paintbrushes.
Start by having your kids dip their thumbs into red paint and making a circle shape with their prints. Doing 4-5 thumbprints per poppy looks best!
After the red paint has dried some, have them dip their pointer finger in black paint and dab the middle of each flower.
Take a small paintbrush and put a dot of yellow paint in the middle of each flower. Then have them paint skinny green stems.
The last step is to take a bigger paintbrush and have them make a ton of "X's" at the bottom to make grass! That's it!
