My 5-year old’s preschool teacher is a very creative person. She comes up with all sorts of amazing crafts for the kids to make. Among others, they celebrate each month with a special handprint craft.
When Mother’s Day comes, I receive all those lovely handprints gathered up in a nice folder. I really look forward to this special gift.
This inspired me to put together a collection of adorable Mother’s Day handprint gifts that kids can make for their mothers and grandmothers.

Mother’s Day handprint gifts
Handprint mason jar vase – This is such a thrifty yet cute gift that teachers can make in the classroom with their students. Keep in mins that because the mason jar is painted on the inside and has the handprint on the outside, it’s not water safe. But these days you can find artificial flowers that look incredibly realistic.
Handprint potholders – These potholders are another simple project to tackle in the classroom. Use white potholders so the handprints can stand out. Add flowers or butterflies around the handprints. Hearts are a nice elements to add, too.
Handprint apron – If mom or grandma has a green thumb, make her an adorable garden apron. If not, make her an apron to use in the kitchen. She spends there a lot of her time, I’m sure. You can use fabric paint to ensure that mom or grandma will have the apron for years. Otherwise, you can surprise her every year with another apron with a new design.
Handprint bowl keepsake – If you enjoy crafting with salt dough, this is a project for you. This handprint dish is perfect for mom to keep rings or keys. I personally love to make and receive practical gifts.
Handprint bookmarks – These bookmarks are so easy to make. All you need is green craft sticks and foam for the handprints and leaves. If you don’t find green craft sticks, you can paint some and wait only after the paint has dried to add the flowers. A super cute gift you can make in 10 minutes.
