Mothers Day Handprint Flowers

We are still having fun making Spring and Mothers Day projects.  Last weekend my little one made these cute hand print flowers.  She just loves painting and had so much fun with this, and well I think they came out great!

This project would make a great card or you can frame it and make a pretty keepsake too.  We did hand prints with both her hands so the flowers would be in different directions.  I had to draw the lines for the stems since she is only two but if you do this with older children they can do that them selves. 

I also like to use paper plates when we paint, it makes clean up a LOT easier and actually worked great with this since she could just put her hand right in it.  If you don't want to do that though, you can always use a paint brush and paint the child's hand or they can paint their own hand. 


Supplies
Acrylic Paints
Paint Brush
White Card Stock
Paper Plates

Directions

 

Have your child put their hand in the paint, you can use a paint brush to make sure it is colored all the way.

 Then have your child place their hand on the card stock

 You can have them use different colors and switch hands so not all the hand prints are the same

 Then paint some green stems and you have your hand print flowers!

The kids will be so proud to give their special gift to mom or grandma, and it makes a great keepsake!
