Materials needed to make a heart
Steps
Firstly, trace the childs’ handprints on white construction paper and cut it out.
Next, cut out a heart from the pink construction paper.
Have the child use the do-a-dot markers to decorate their cut out handprints.
Then, have the child glue their handprints on the red construction paper to create a heart. Guide the child as necessary.
Have the child trace or write the saying: “Happy Mother’s Day” depending on their writing skills on the white construction paper and glue it on the top of the paper.
Lastly, have the child glue the pink heart toward the bottom of the page.
Make that heart shape with the hands your child traced!
Modifications
You can use markers, paints, tissue papers or anything to decorate the handprints.
You can paint the child’s hand to create the heart handprint to make instead of tracing and cutting it out to decorate. (This may save you some time!)
Be creative and make it fun!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day crafts for kids are a great way to get your kids to show their moms some love, and this heart shaped hand-print craft is no exception! Make sure to show your own mom some love too!
