Last minute Mother's Day Project

It's been a busy week for me!  And Mother's Day is tomorrow.   Here's a cute mother's day flower pot project for the kids to make from our friends at All Kids Network.



She is sure to love this personalized flower pot with her favorite family pictures in it. Pick your favorite pictures for some of the flowers and write your own special message on the other flowers.
What you'll need:
  • 3" Clay Pot
  • Clay
  • Colored Popsicle Sticks
  • Flower Template (click here)
  • Construction Paper (many colors)
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Scotch Tape
  • Pictures
  • Paint, Markers, Crayons, etc.
How to make your Homemade Mother's Day Flower Pot Craft:
  • Decorate your clay pot however you would like! Put it aside to dry.
  • Print out the flower template provided above.
  • Cut out the template flowers, trace them onto construction paper and cut out the construction paper flowers.
  • Cut the center circle out of the template flower. Place onto construction paper flowers and trace around it. Carefully cut out the center circle in each of the construction paper flowers.
  • Tape pictures or sayings on the back of each flower so that they are visible through the hole.
