Handprint Broccoli Craft
Okay, hear me out…what if your preschooler actually got excited about broccoli? No bribing. No begging. Just a fun little project that turns their handprint into a big, leafy green veggie buddy.
That’s exactly what this handprint broccoli craft does. It’s silly. It’s simple. It’s slightly messy (in the best way). And your kid gets to turn their own hand into a smiling stalk of broccoli. Honestly? It might be the cutest veggie you’ve ever met.
Best of all, it’s low-prep, high-impact, and secretly full of fine motor practice and creativity-boosting magic. Plus, it gives you an excuse to say things like, “Look at the adorable broccoli you made!” Which is not a sentence most people get to say.

What You’ll Need for Your Broccoli
How to Make a Handprint Broccoli Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your materials. You’ll need two shades of green paper, white paper for the eyes, a black marker, glue, and scissors.
Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces
Trace your child’s hand onto green paper and cut it out. This will be the base of the broccoli stalk.
Cut out the other pieces of the broccoli: three fluffy green tops, two white eyes, and a stalk base using the printable template.
Step 3: Attach the Stalk
Glue the stalk base and handprint together so the handprint looks like it’s sprouting from the top.
Step 4: Add the Florets
Add the three green broccoli tops to the tops of the handprint fingers and sides. Now it looks like a bunch of broccoli florets!
Step 5: Add the Eyes
Glue the white eye circles onto the center of the handprint. Let dry for a moment.
Step 6: Draw the Face
Use the black marker to draw in pupils, a highlight dot, and a cute little smile to bring your broccoli friend to life.
All done!
Your broccoli friend is ready to display!
