Simple Handprint Craft for Mother's Day

This simple handprint craft is sure to brighten Mother's Day! Here are directions; materials are boldfaced.

To make it, trace both hands on construction paper or wrapping paper. Write your child's name and today's date on the hand. Next cut out a few leaves from green paper. Twist together and tape around a straw. As an added touch, you can fold a pipe cleaner in half, twirl the ends, and insert into the straw. (That part is optional.) Finish off with this poem:

This isn’t just a flower, as you can plainly see.
I made it with my hand which is a part of me.
It comes with lots of love, especially to say,
I hope you have a very Happy Mother’s Day!
