Preschool Mother's Day Crafts

Hand Print Flowers

Supplies:
dow sticks 1/8" - 1 per child
precut craft foam flowers large enough for a hand print
fabric safe paint
small sponge for each color paint
craft glue or glue gun

What to do:
Using the sponge, dab paint onto the child's hand, not to much or it will smudge. Have the child firmly place his hand onto the flower, leaving behind his hand print.

Once the paint has dried, print the childs name and age on the back of the flower. Using craft glue have the child glue the dow stick onto the back of the flower. A hot glue gun will be faster, but must be supervised by an adult!

Have the child take it home to mom as a keepsake she will always remember.



Easy Scented Sachets

Supplies:
Felt cut into heart shapes
Scented dryer sheets
Glue
Beads or other decorative items

What to do:
Cut two hearts out of felt. Glue the two pieces together leaving a small opening. Stuff the scented dryer sheet into the heart and glue the opening closed. Allow the child to decorate the heart as he or she wished to. When dry, the child can take the sachet home to their mom.

Idea: Using a paint pen, write Happy Mother's Day 2009 on one side of the heart.
