Please tell us how you did it- what is the little saying you put on them?

Too cute! Might have to do this next year. What kind of paint is that? Fabric paint?

That is such a cute idea!!!

Honestly, I forgot that Mother's day was coming up and I finally got off my ass and figured something out and it turned out really cute! I got little metal flower pots and watering cans and put that green stuff that is in floral arrangements in them. Then I got a variety of artificials flowers and had the kids stick them in the green stuff. Then the kids made cards with either a photograph of them or their handprints on them. I put a miniature box of chocolates in each gift bag and I wrote a Mother's day quote on construction paper hearts and put the heart on the gift bag.

Not too shabby considering that I almost forgot Mother's day. It's easy to forget when you don't have a mom (

I did a flower pot with lady bugs. The red body is the DCK figure print then I took a sharpie for the antennas & dots. Turned out cute, I just wasnt able to get a flower for then (last minute project)

I used fabric paint for hand prints.

This is a poem.

Sometimes I might upset you
Just because I'm small
By leaving fingerprints of mine
On a table, chair or wall.
But everyday I grow a bit
And I'll be big one day
When all my tiny fingerprints
Have long been cleaned away
So keep these prints of my two hands
To help you to recall
Just how big my fingers were
That time when I was small
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 2010

THanks so much, I did handprints with a little different poem on it for Mother's Day they loved it!!

those are cute, my dc kids did a book that included a poem about handprints, but they all painted their hand prints on the poem so I am now, printing out a new poem to place in with it....they also decopaged the sides of cut milk carton, and we planted the flowers this in them earlier today....i like your idea much better.
