Handprint Crafts for Mother’s Day

Awwww. Mother’s Day isn’t too far off and we do love get ready with our collection Mother’s Day Ideas for Kids! Though we already have a specific Mother’s Day Crafts for Preschooler Collection, I thought more specifically these Mother’s Day Handprint Keepsake deserved a share! Nothing quite as precious as those adorable little handprints and footprints, right?!

Mother’s Day Handprint Keepsakes (Fingerprints and Footprints!)

This collection focusseson HANDPRINT Crafts for Mother’s Day.. however there are also some keepsake fingerprint and footprint art projects too!

Also, as with previous Mother’s Day Ideas, you will find that these Handprint Mother’s Day Crafts will overlap with Valentine’s Day Resources.. but I really do think you will enjoy seeing them. Kids’ handprint DIYs are just too cute and there are lovely all year round!

Adorable Handprint Art for Mom

Here we have a combination of easy handprint craft ideas and fun handprint gifts!

• Blowing Kisses Hand card – this was a fun hand print activity guest post for Valentine’s day. But I do think children’s hand prints blowing kisses are perfect as a mother’s day handprint craft too!
• Handprint Flower Bouquet made with a homemade finger paint recipe
• Handprint Flower pot DIY by A Little Pinch of Perfect – adorable combination of handprint flowers in paper flower pots. So cute! I think these are fun classroom activities. Great for kindergarteners or preschoolers!

Fun with Footprint Art for Mother’s Day Crafts

We have some cute footprint crafts too – these are especially great for babies or very young children – they often find it hard not to “clench” their handinto a fist. So footprint arts and crafts are perfect for these little ones.

• Heart Footprints made in salt dough – super thrifty and gorgeous
• Footprint bookmarks – we made a set for father’s day onces.. but I am so glad I made them.. as I (!) ended up using them too. And their baby feet were so tiny and precious. Say aaaah. Definitely a must for any mother’s day gift making or of ocurse for dad too!
• Adorable Footprint Butterfly Pot – what a lovely gift to enjoy in the garden by Mamma Papa Bubba – I think this footprint butterfly would work really well as a butterfly handprint card too – don’t you think? So cute!
