The chance your mother-in-law will complain about this bouquet is 0%. Make this adorable little hand flower creation with 2 year old Timmy and watch as it sits on her kitchen table until Christmas. When she does take it down, casually ask in a sweet tone, “Where did little Timmy’s flower creation go that he made especially for you?” It will be up until Easter!! He he he. Trust me this is so worth you and little Timmy’s time.
Here’s What You Need:
Large popsicle sticks
Easter Grass (check the clearance aisle or your child’s closet)
Clay pot
Styrofoam or floral foam that to fit your clay pot
Paper (white and colored)
Glue
Fingerpaints
Package of Flower Seeds
Newspaper
Paper plates
Here’s What You Do:
1. Cover art area with newspaper for easy clean up.
2. Place to or three colors of paint onto separate paper plates.
3. Make little Timmy’s dreams come true by letting him dip both his hands in the paint.
4. Press his little hands onto the white paper.
5. Repeat to make as many flower hands that you both would like for the bouquet.
6. Let hand flowers dry.
7. While the hand flowers are drying, go ahead and let little Timmy paint his clay pot for Grandma however he likes.
8. Once finished. Wash little Timmy’s hands completely.
9. Double check to make sure little Timmy’s hands are washed completely.
10. Triple check that little Timmy’s hands are paintless. Trust me. The last thing you want is so-called “washable” finger paint on your suede couch.
11. When the pot and hands are completely dry, place the styrofoam inside the painted pot.
12. Cut out flower hands and glue them to your popsicle sticks.
13. Glue seeds and a little handmade sign that says something like, “Happy Mother’s Day, Grandma! Love, Timmy” onto popsicle sticks.
14. Stick glued popsicle stick hands, seeds, and sign into styrofoam.
15. Glue Easter grass around the popsicle sticks and let dry.
16. Let proud little Timmy present Grandma with his flower bouquet!
