You will need- Coloured card

How to make Mothers Day Flower Craft Ideas:
1. Draw shapes on your coloured card (I’ve drawn a love heart and some flower shapes). Make sure one is big enough for your toddlers hand print to fit in.
2. Draw the same shape a couple of cms smaller inside the first shape drawn.
3. Cut out the shape and the inside shape.
4. Prepare two sheets of contact that will cover each side of the cut out shape.
5. Lay one sheet of contact on the table and place the shape on top to stick.
6. Poor some glitter onto a paper plate.
7. Dampen your toddlers hand very slightly using a face washer.
8. Place toddlers hand in the glitter.
9. Place toddlers hand in the centre of your shape and press down gently.
10. Carefully remove toddlers hand from the contact (and wash it straight away otherwise you’ll end up with glitter covering the house)
11. Carefully place contact over the top and stick down.
12. Cut around the shape.
13. Sticky tape a stick on the back of it
14. Repeat, but instead of making a glitter handprint have your toddler use other decorations and make as many as you would like in your bouquet J Mum will love it!
