Make a beautiful Handprint Flower Card for Mother’s Day! Simply press your child’s painted hand onto the front of a card, then add a stem to turn it into a flower and finish with a sweet message for Mum.
Want to make it extra special? Create a whole bouquet of handprint flowers!
Paint your child’s hand to make colourful handprints, cut them out, and attach straws or pop sticks as stems. Arrange them on card with a paper vase and add a sweet message for Mum!
Try this extra sweet Mother’s Day card craft! Paint a heart shape with glue and cover it with hundreds and thousands – then add a message saying, “You’re one in a hundred thousand, Mum!”
Using acrylic paint, dip your child’s thumb into the paint (you may want to stamp it onto some paper or card to remove excess) and then stamp it onto the mug. Using other colours (and making sure your child’s thumb is cleaned) stamp two prints on either side to create wings. Set the mug aside to dry (for 24 hours). For long lasting results cover with some modge podge once dried.
This is a fun craft little ones will love! Let them get creative and decorate plain colour oven mitts, an apron or a canvas tote bag with some fabric markers/paint or acrylic paint. For something even more personal, decorate the items with your little one’s handprints.
Using a terracotta pot and acrylic paints, decorate the pots with handprints or get your little one to paint their very own creation! Plant some flowers or herbs for a great gift that can be used for many years.
These ornaments are wonderful keepsakes that will last forever! You can have a look at our salt dough recipe here.
The personalised handprint flowers are super sweet and easy to do with little ones. Have a look at it here.
Get the kids involved in this great activity that also encourages fine motor skill development. Dye some pasta tubes and using thread, make a lovely necklace! Have a look at how to dye pasta here or watch our Instagram video here.
