It’s Mothers Day and I have a lovely easy craft to share with you which is perfect for little hands – let me know if you try it for yourselves!
You will need:
- pencil
- scissors
- white and green paper
- straws
- yellow pipe cleaners
- sticky tape
Hand print lilies for Mother’s Day
First trace around your child’s hand on a sheet of white paper. My toddler adores using his hands in crafts and this really made him giggle for some reason. We drew around his hand four times and then I cut them out.
Carefully curl the top of the paper hand around a straw, then fix the bottom of the hand to a straw using sticky tape.
Cut a leaf from the sheet of green paper and fix to the straw beneath the hand using sticky tape.
Then cut a small piece of yellow pipe cleaner and fold in half. Insert into the top of the straw and slightly curl the ends. That’s it! Make a bunch, arrange in a glass and admire your sweet flowers.
