Happy Mothers Day!!

Here is a very inexpensive mothers day gift my students made. The yellow flowers are made from their handprints.
1. Take their cut out handprints and roll them into a cone and tape the bottom.
2. Next, you need a straw and 1 inch of pipe cleaner. Take the pipe cleaner, fold in half, shove into top of straw and tape the straw and pipe cleaner.
3. Place the straw into the hand cone and push through the bottom hole (you might need to cut the bottom of the hand cone a little to get the straw through).
4. Tape the bottom of the flower to the straw.
5. Cut out green leaves and tape to the bottom of the flower/straw.
6. Take a pencil and roll the leaves and fingers/petals.
7. Take a Styrofoam cup and place rocks in the bottom. Place the flowers into the rocks. I hot glued the rocks/ straws in cup so they wouldn't move.
8. Take strips of brown paper, crumble up and place into cup to make it look like dirt.
9. Decorate cup. You could have the child decorate the cup while you are putting the flowers together.
Happy Mothers Day!!
