We are gearing up for the Fall season, so we made handprint paper handprint pumpkins. I love doing handprint crafts with my kids. I am one of those moms who saves all our handprint crafts too!
Handprint Paper Plate Pumpkin Kids Craft
Materials:
Heavy duty paper plate
orange finger paint
green cardstock
glue sticks
First drizzle some orange finger paint in the center of the backside of the plate and have the child spread out the paint, painting the whole plate. Next trace their hands and then cut the handprints out, cut out a large rectangle for the pumpkin stem. Once the paint is dried glue the stem on the frontside of the plate and glue the handprint on the backside which they painted (front of the pumpkin) but have it kind of popping up a bit giving it a 3-D look.
All kids seem to like finger painting so I recommend this for ages one and up. What handprint Fall crafts are you doing this with your kids this season?

Wow I love this! Such a fun and easy craft! I think I’m going to do this with my 2 year old!
Good idea to use his hand as the stem and vine!
How crafty! And you can see how small their hands were years later.
I’m starting preschool at home with my kids. This is a perfect easy fall craft! Thanks for the idea!
That is such a cute idea and I love how easy it is to do.
My girls love their crafts and this is so easy and simple for them to do. Thanks for the idea!
What a great way to remember when the kids were small! I would love to make this with my daughter.
That is a great way to mark their size/age at the time.
So cute! I’m going to add this to my fall craft ideas list for the kids
A great craft for the little ones!
Cute idea! My daughter would have a lot of fun with this one. It would be fun to cover with Saran wrap and then gift cookies on it.
What a great craft!! My DD3 would love this! So simple but so much fun!
How adorable! It’s so cute, and I love how easy it is to make!
This is so cute! I’ve got to make this with my little girl.
This is such a cute project. I wish I would have done more stuff like this when my niece and nephew were younger.
This is such an adorable craft to do with the little ones. I used to do things like this with my son when he was young.
This is such a cute idea. I think I will try it with my girls for Halloween decorations.
This is such a fun craft! My kids would go gaga over this!
Very cute. My kids would love this.
This is so cute! My preschooler would love this and we are studying orange right now, this is perfect!
I don’t have cardstock but I think a green handprint would be just as good!
This is seriously adorable! I think preschoolers will get a kick out of seeing their hand turn into a stem!
Yeah this is a great idea! My kiddos would love to make some to decorate with!
HA! What a fabulous idea… this would be great to do at a playdate, as well. I am totally pinning for later.
Oh how cute! My 3 year old would love to do this one.
I’m sure if my kids were little again they would love to do this! And it is so simple!
So cute. Will be so much fun to make with the kids.
I love this project! It’s so simple and cute- and I’ve never seen anything like it before! What a creative idea- I think we will make a few to have a pumpkin patch inside our house!
This would go over so well for any age. It’s really easy and fun!
I love the handprint stem. Pumpkins make me happy one thing I look forward to in fall.
I think my grandson would love this. He is 3 and just starting preschool this year. Thanks for sharing.
What a fun project!! I remember how much fun finger painting was as a kid!! LOL though I think it would still be fun now 🙂
This is such a cute idea for fall. I am sure my son would love to do this. I might need a bigger keepsake box!
So cute 🙂 perfect project for the kids. We will be making these this fall.
That’s very cute and colorful! Love how easy it is to make for the kids.
That is so cute. I may just have to make those today with my girls.
Super cute! I love quick and easy crafts that work for a variety of ages.
This is a great idea. My kids love crafts and I love handprint crafts because it gives me a little bit of them with it. I am going to do this this year with my kiddos thanks!
Fantastic idea. A cute and fun activity for the kiddies.
This is such a cute and simple craft to do with the little ones. I used to love when the kids were little and would bring home crafts from school.
What a darling and easy craft! Both of my boys would love this!

Great idea! I’m pinning this to do with the kiddos this Halloween! Thanks!

Love the green handprint.
I have little ones here so they would be so tiny!

So cute! I love fall/pumpkin/Halloween crafts!
Great idea to bring in to the classroom for my son’s Fall party!
This is such a cute craft idea. It is one you could do each year and make your own pumpkin patch to see how the kids have grown over the years.
what a creative idea! The little ones’ hands are precious anyway – and making them into art makes them a keepsake
Love easy and fun crafts like this. Will see if my kids would give it a try.
I love this. I think Halloween is my favorite crafty period! You just never know what you will see. This looks simple enough that a non-crafty or creative person like me could probably handle it 🙂
This is so cute! I love it!!
Super cute, we may be stealing this idea for a PreK Craft this next month!
