Handprint Mother’s Day Gifts {Kid Craft}

Hi A Night Owl friends!!! It’s Stacey stopping by from Glued To My Crafts again. Now that we are past the hustle & bustle of Easter, it’s time to start thinking about Mother’s Day and Mother’s Day gifts! {Crazy how fast this year is going!}

When I sat down to think about creative ideas for Mother’s Day crafts, I really wanted to create something that could be treasured for years. Although I complain about the smeared handprints on the walls & windows – one day I will miss them. {I’m sure you can relate?} Our children are only little once and once those sticky handprints are wiped away – they are gone forever. This is why I make it a habit to make keepsakes that include my son’s handprints. It’s my way of freezing a moment so I can treasure it forever.

So without further ado – the craft I’m sharing today is a great way to capture the moment in time. With a few simple supplies, you too can make this easy “You Hold My Heart” canvas with your child {or children.} It makes for a great gift for the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday OR you can simply add it to your own home decor. Either way – I’m sure it will be well received!

Supplies:

• Canvas
• Various Shades of Paint
• Mod Podge
• Paint Brushes
• Scrapbook/Vinyl Stickers
• Baby Wipes

Directions:

• First paint your child’s hands and have them make prints all over the canvas.
• In between the handprint shapes, paint some hearts on the canvas. Set aside to let it all dry completely.
• Lay out your stickers on the canvas to say “You Hold My Heart.” Add a good layer of Mod Podge on top of the stickers to seal them in. Let it dry completely.
• Don’t forget to add your child’s name/age on the back.

I hope this kid friendly gift idea inspired you for you Mother’s Day gifts! I will have a few more Mother’s Day crafts & gift ideas over on my blog in the coming days – so be sure to check it out!
