Mother's Day Craft
Now I know that Mother’s Day is over, but I didn’t want to post this beforehand since Hailey was giving this project as a gift to her grandmothers. It’s really cute though, so I still want to post it and maybe you’ll like it enough to tuck it away for next year.
Mother’s Day Hand-print Poem
What You’ll Need:
Two Paper Plates
Poem
Paint
Skin Tone Paper
Pink Card Stock
Washable Paint
Assorted Ribbon, Lace and Silk Flowers
Glue
Scissors
Directions:
Spread paint in one paper plate. Press the child’s hand into the paint and on to card stock to make hand-print. Trace around the hand and cut out. Allow child to paint the other paper plate. Print poem on pink card stock. Cut out in the shape of a heart. Decorate the edge of the paper plate with flowers, ribbon and/or lace. Cut a 30″ piece of ribbon make a loop in one end. Glue to the back of the plate with a loop at the top for a hanger. Glue the heart poem to the bottom of the ribbon under the hand-print as shown in photo (below). Add a bow to decorate.
The poem that I used says:
Someday I will be big
And gone upon my way
But here’s my little hand-print
To remind you
of this day
XOXO

That is a great idea. I love it! Everytime I see a picture of your daughter it just makes me smile!
Just stopping by to say hi from the MommyFest Blog party! Nice ideas for your toddler. I have lots of neat ideas too for toddler activities and preschoolers on my blog if you are interested. 🙂
This made me want to cry!!! Did Metformin ever make you emotional? I feel like an emotional wreck this past week! LOL!
Awww! What a sweet little craft! 🙂
I know from the experience of recieving this craft as a gift – that it is a perfect little craft. It is very precious and I will keep that little handprint forever. I love it!!!
You have a lovely blog. I am just stopping by from Mommyfest to say hi. It’s nice to meet you. I will try to visit your site often. Have a great day.
