Being a room mom I am always looking for something that I can do with the class. I usually try to find something that's easy to make, fun for the kids & memorable for the parent. In doing so, I came across these lilies made from the child's hand prints. It makes a GREAT gift, especially when done in a colorful bouquet & it's beauty never dies.
Supplies needed:
Trace a child's hand on construction paper. Cut the tracing out. Curl each of the fingers around a pencil. Using the palm of the handprint, form a cone (with the fingers curling outwards). Glue or tape the cone together. Staple the flower to a pipe cleaner or a drinking straw. Draw some leaves on green construction paper, and then cut them out. Staple or tape the leaves to the straw. Make a few of these flowers for a beautiful bouquet.
