For a variation on handprint crafts, give Mom a show of hands. Instead of a work of art, use handprints to create a pseudo flower arrangement. The addition of little notes written on each hand transforms these nonperishable flowers into an extra-special treat.
Preparation
- Supplies:
- Colorful paper
- Scissors
- Pens or colored pencils
- Small dowels, wooden skewers, or straws (to use as stems)
- Green craft paint (optional)
- Small vase, flower pot or bowl
- Craft glue
- Florist’s foam
Steps
- Trace and cut out each child’s handprints using different colors of paper. Make as many as you want.
- Ask kids to write one thing he or she loves about Mom on each handprint.
- Paint dowels or skewers with green paint, if using.
- Glue handprints to the front of stems.
- Put florist foam in the vase and insert flowers.
- Place decorative grass or candies around the base of the flowers to add the florist foam.
