This precious gift has been hanging in my kitchen since it came home from preschool with my daughter two years ago. It is so simple, but it is one of my favorites. If you are looking for a last minute Mother’s Day craft that you can make with materials you already have, this is it.
The poem reads:
Ten little fingers,
Ten tiny toes,
The sweetest of smiles,
And a cute little nose.
All these add up,
To a very special thing,
The greatest of gifts,
That life can bring.
Mine was made on a piece of cardstock paper, but it would be really cute to make it on a stretched canvas so it would be ready for hanging.
I think I might replicate this for myself this Mother’s Day so I can see how much her little hands have grown.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Since the process requires the use of washable markers, I even helped baby sister create a plate by tracing her hand and then letting her scribble away. It was the first time I let her use markers, so she was very happy, but there might have been more marker on her than on the paper when she was done.
