Hi, I'm Andreja from Easy Peasy and Fun — and I just wrote a book!
50 paper crafts your kids can actually do themselves
CRAFTS
I designed every project so kids can do it themselves — no fancy supplies, just paper, scissors, and a little imagination.
“If you need easy crafts to keep busy, Andreja delivers with this book!”
📚 As an indie author, your pre-order genuinely helps me — it counts toward first-week sales, which is how new books get noticed. Thank you!
Why Fingerprint Crafts are a Win for Toddlers
Fingerprint art is the ultimate process art for little ones. At age 2 or 3, toddlers are still developing their fine motor skills. Instead of struggling with complex shapes, they get to focus on the sensory experience of “dipping and dotting” to create their very own dandelion fluff.
Perfect for Daycare and Classrooms
This project is a favorite for large group settings because it is incredibly low-prep and high-success.
- Easy Cleanup: Use washable paints or even fingerprint ink pads for even less mess.
- Bulk-Friendly: Print as many copies as you need for your entire class.
- Personalized: No two dandelions will ever look the same!
How to Make Your Dandelion Keepsake
- Download & Print: Grab our free dandelion card template or the full-page printable below.
- Prep the Paint: Set out a small tray of washable paints or prepare kid firendly ink pads. We have a handy handprinting paint guide that will help you pick what paints to use.
- Make a Wish: Have your child dip their finger in the paint and “stamp” it all around the dandelion seeds to complete them.
- Optional: Once dry, you can have the kids sign it or if they made a card, write a message inside it!
