Last year we made these flowers for Mother’s Day. The grandparents loved them, so I thought I would pass the idea along to you this year. So, we made another one. The pedals are the girls hands while the leaves are Corban’s feet.
The first step is to start tracing your children’s hands and feet. Again, the hands will be the pedals and the feet become the leaves off the stem. Trace and cut them out. You’ll also want to cut out a circle for the center and a picture to go on top of that. Our big circle was 3 1/2 inches in diameter with the picture cut a tad smaller. You’ll need to cut another circle to glue things down to and a green stem.
Above are all the pieces you’ll end up needing to assemble.
The final step is to put together your flower. We glued all the pink (Abby’s hand) onto the green circle – one facing up, down, left and right. The next is to take the orange (Kenzie’s hand) and glue to fill in the in between spaces. Next, glue on the center circle with the picture on top. Our larger circle was 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Finally, glue on the stems and leaves (Corban’s feet). A wonderful flower to give to the grandmother in your life.

Another great idea! These are my favorite kinds of mother’s day activities to do because they grow up so fast. I have a card that I saved that has my daughters’ hand prints and now she is much bigger. I am so glad I saved that card. 😉 New Follower! Hope to see you at True Aim.
Just poking around your site. I love it. You are trying to accomplish so many of the same things I am. I just made a long comment on the vegi post, and you’ve got me thinking. Following you now too.
