Mother’s Day CraftMay 13th, 2008
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
