How to do it

  1. 1

    Draw a few green vertical lines on the card for stems.

  2. 2

    Have the kid dip a finger in purple paint and dab fingerprints up each stem to form lavender flowers.

  3. 3

    Once dry, dab lighter purple prints on top for depth.

  4. 4

    Add green grass at the bottom and blue sponge clouds in the sky.

  5. 5

    Draw a smiling sun and clouds for a cheerful touch.

Tips & extensions

Cotton swabs are easier than paintbrushes for younger kids when adding small details.
