Handprint Flowers for Mother's Day

It's almost Mother's Day! So in my class I had the kids make these cute little handprint flowers. They are very simple and easy to do. I painted their hand red and placed it onto yellow construction paper. I cut it out as you can see below. I had them paint a green stem and leaves onto a white cardstock. Then glued the yellow hand on top to look like a flower. Easy peasy lemon squeasy.

For those few children who cannot stand to get their hands messy, I simply traced their hand on a red construction paper and cut it out. Then glued it onto the yellow construction paper, and followed with the same steps as the painted one. It still came out pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Kids Animal Handprint Art

As you may or may not know, I work at a preschool. I found this cool idea on pinterest to make animals out of handprints. I immediately thought to myself, "These are so cute! I have to try them!" So I did. I asked the kids what their favorite animals were and went from there. Some animals I had to make up on the spot, as I hadn't seen any examples of them, such as a shark. But I think that they all came out really well. These handprint animals are the cutest things. I love them. If you love them too, you should do it with your kids. Or do it by yourself, with your own hands. You know you want to! Haha. My favorite is the penguin. And the giraffe. Adorable. Although, yes, I used the child's foot, not hand. We added googly-eyes after the paint dried, which made these that much more perfect. Which one is your favorite?
