A Handful of Love for Mommy



	Construction Paper Paint Pipe Cleaners Photo of Child



	To make a hand print Butterfly for Mommy... Have the child dip their hands in paint. Then place both hands near the top of the paper with thumbs about two inches apart. Then dip their hands in another color of paint and have their hands go in the opposite direction ( just below the other hands) with the thumbs about two inches apart again. Let hands dry and paint a body down the middle. Write "A Handful of Love for Mommy!" on the butterfly body and place a small picture of the child on it. Add pipe cleaners on the head for antenna. This craft makes a great Mother's Day gift.

Bus Stop Backpack Game This is a great idea to keep children busy during down times (bus stop, bus duty, bus ride home, etc.). -Find a plain, flat spot on the backpack and create a tic-tac-toe board using velcro and any inexpensive plastic toy pieces (or make your own game pieces from craft foam). Draw the tic-tac-toe board on the backpack with a permanent marker. Then, attach velcro in each square of the board. Last, attach the other side of velcro to each game piece and put them on the board. Make sure you have five of each game piece. The game pieces can be nicely stored in one of the outside pockets of the backpack.

Keepsake Handprints Crayola Model Magic and favorite color of paint small bowl or plate Get a small handful of Model Magic and spread out to a little bigger than child's or adults hand, use the bowl or plate to use as a guide for the shape. You can also use this idea for a footprint. Press the hand into the model magic to make an impression in the clay. When you feel you have made an impression peel of hand and set out to dry for at least 24 hours. When Model Magic is set or hard to desire, paint the handprint or footprint in favorite color. You can also paint the outer edges of hand a different color. Let paint dry and give as a great keepsake gift.
