This is a fun and cute little project for kids. It would be perfect for Mother's Day (hint to those dad's out there!!). All you need is some flower colored construction paper, a pencil, some craft sticks (we painted our's green), glue, scissors and a stapler.
Trace your child's hand print on the paper and cut it out
Curl the ends of the finger tips around a pencil
Glue the craft stick to the hand print
Take the sides and shape them around the stick and staple it together
Nathan and I took a vase and put some tissue paper in the bottom of it. Then arranged the "flowers" in the vase.
I think I like these flowers just as much as I like my real ones!
And Nathan is pretty darn proud of himself, as you can see!
Here is his little garden stone project, he finished it yesterday......
That handprint bouquet is so adorable@!
