Mommy gift

[Artsand crafts]

We painted flower pots and I put a geranium in each one. The kids absolutely LOVED doing this activity and it was super easy. They were sooooo proud to give their flowers to their moms...so cute! We also made handprint butterflies...super cute too All the moms were thrilled

Did you put soil inside the pot and plant the flower? or how did you hold it in place? That sounds like a lot of fun for the kids!

I was going to do that, but it turned out perfectly that the little plastic pots the geraniums came in fit totally perfectly into the painted flower pots, so I just plopped them in This was great because it also means that it will be easy for them to take the flowers out and repot into bigger pots when necessary and they will still have their child's pot to use for whatever and it will be clean. I am fortunate...every one of them emailed me right away to thank me (it was all dads picking up yesterday for me too).

We dyed doilies and let them dry. We them assembled them into flower shapes and used a pipe cleaner as the stem. I bought vases from the dollar store, and we put the doily flowers in them. It really did look like a bouqet of flowers. The kids also did their own card to go along with the flowers.

How did you dye them?

I had several different bowls of water, and i used food colouring to dye the water. Then, all the kids dipped the doily in the water and then I laid them out to dry. It was fun for all of them, even the little ones

We did that too but I just let the kids paint abstract on a piece of paper then when it dried I cut out flower shapes!
