Have you ever had an idea in your head for a craft and it doesn’t go as planned? I think we probably all have! That happened to me this month. I wanted to try painting flowers with wine corks but it just wasn’t working out. So we went with one of our favorite painting techniques. We did an easy and fun activity of Cookie Cutter Flower Painting. This is a great craft for kids especially preschoolers.

Cookie Cutter Flower Printing
As I said before, this is not a new activity for us! We have done cookie cutter painting for 4th of July and for Christmas. It is a super simple craft but Graylie really enjoys it. After having a few flower fails earlier in the week, I was happy to move on to this easy painting project.
To get started you only need the following supplies:
We used four different colors of paint for our Cookie Cutter Flower Prints. When we did our Holiday Print Wrapping Paper, we realized how cool it was to get multiple colors on the cookie cutter. It creates a fun multi-color print.
Once you have the supplies, squirt the colors of paint into a paper plate or bowl. This makes cleanup a breeze! Have the child dip the cookie cutter into the paint and then add it to the paper. How easy is that? The kids will be so proud of their beautiful prints too!
The Cookie Cutter Flower Prints make super cute gift wrap too! We actually turned ours into notecards and gift wrap. They would be perfect for Mother’s Day or Teacher Appreciation Day. Just add some pretty ribbon and a tag if you want to make it extra fancy!
Very sweet. I love homemade wrap.This is a win!!!
What a fun activity to share with children and it’s a pretty way to dress up plain wrapping paper, too.
These are so cute!
The multiple colors are super fun! This makes the gift wrap very special. Love it!
Funny enough I had a big mishap when making my project for this months flower challenge, too. I live your alternative! I made gift wrapping paper using a tp roll bent into heart shape for Valentine’s Day. Cookie cutters widen the possibilities endless. Great idea!
