Handprint Art: Just Add a Handprint for Mother's Day!

Check out this easy to use printable for Mother's Day, Grandparents' Day, and Birthdays!

How to Use:

Simply use ink pads or paint to add a handprint right in the middle, between the two letter Ms. You'll have the easiest Mother's Day craft! (Handprints can be done in the color of your child's choice. The "You are my sunshine" quote would be really special with a yellow handprint to look like a sun, though!)

*I did this with my 1-year old and my 4-year old. THAT's how easy it is! Definitely most appropriate for Preschool/UPK through 2nd, but it can work for any age group!

What's Included?

There are 62 pages available (half for Mother's Day and half for Birthday). Plenty of black and white options for Mother's Day and Birthday.

11 different quotes to choose from.

- You are my sunshine.

- You mean the world to me.

- Mother’s hold their children’s hands for a short while,

but their hearts forever.

- A mother’s love will never end.

It is there from beginning to end.

- It’s not easy being a mother.

If it were easy, fathers would do it.

- If at first you don’t succeed,

Try doing it the way Mom told you to do it in the beginning.

- Thank you for not telling

my sisters that I’m your favorite.

- Thank you for not telling

my sister that I’m your favorite.

- Thank you for not telling

my brothers that I’m your favorite.

- Thank you for not telling

my brother that I’m your favorite.

Just another reason I love magnetic tiles....



What was on today's agenda? Building a garden out of magnetic tiles. Yep. Well, actually, it started as a dance floor. Then, it became a garden. 

I use magnetic tiles at home with my kiddos because they are open-ended, foster outside the box thinking, and I am always pleasantly surprised by the creativity my kids exhibit when using them!

At school, we use magnetic tiles in a few different ways. One way is for our STEAM program. Many teachers use them for morning work bins each day. Additionally, our after school program sets them out as one of their stations. And, of course, they are a big hit at recess!
