Flower Craft For Kids – FREE Download

Here is an idea on a flower craft for kids with a free printable.

Summer is here, and in June, both our older children started their summer break. On their last day in school and kindergarten, they gave a card they had made themselves to their teachers.

They both wrote down what they were thankful for to their teachers on the back of the cards. It was so sweet to see what their teachers had meant for them this year.

Even if our children spend most of their time with us at home, it is also really nice to see how other adults in their live have such a special role in their lives.

Further down in this blog post, you can find some free printable flower coloring cards that I made through Canva that you can use if you want to make similar cards.

Flower Craft For Kids – FREE Printable

Using a coloring page to make a card is a quite easy way to make a handmade card. Making a card out of a coloring page is easily done by printing out the coloring page on thicker paper.

Another way is, of course, to print out on regular paper and glue the coloring page to thicker paper as we did with the cards in this blog post.

Even if we like to do craft activities as a family, I have realized that simple and uncomplicated craft ideas are the ones that we like the most. If there are too many things that we need to buy for a craft activity or too many steps to finish a project the whole idea of doing something creative, isn’t that fun anymore.

This idea of making these cards was a quick project, but at the same time, really fun. We used some of the flowers that we have been growing on our balcony but if you would like to make your own card, you can feel free to choose any flowers that you like.

As said earlier, this free printable was made in Canva. Feel free to print it out if you want to make a card yourself. The printable is of the size A4 and for each print out you get two vases of flowers so you can make two cards.

Why Handmade Cards Are Worth The Time Making Them

Many years ago, when I was working with YWAM, we had many guests who came to stay overnight at the place where we lived. Sometimes guests stayed for only one night, and other guests stayed for longer periods of time.

During a time I was working with the hospitality team, and the leader of the team used to make such beautiful handmade cards for the people who came to visit.

She really had a talent for making every guest feel so welcome when they came to visit, and one of the things she did was to put time into the welcome basket that always was left on the beds for the guests who came.

The welcome basket had some sweets from Sweden, a drink and a handmade card.

The Time Put Into A Card

Working with her taught me how important it is to put time into making people feel welcome. The small details, like making handmade cards, really matter to make people feel welcome.

Now, as our children really like to draw, color and make things by hand it is so fun to make things with them that they can give to others.
