Celebrate Mother’s Day this year with a simple hand bouquet from the heart. This Mother’s Day hand craft is perfect for last-minute gifting for the simple mom.

Showing Mom You Care

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show Mom just how much she truly means to you!

While going big & extravagant can sound fun, most of the time, moms just crave something simple and meaningful.

Such as a printable keepsake or a handmade card.

Occasionally, though, simple activities and ideas can also get the job done.

If simple is your mom’s main style, this fun Mother’s Day handprint craft will be right up her alley.

Honor Mom by creating something meaningful that she can cherish for years to come!

Simple Mother’s Day Hand Craft

This is such a fun little craft, you guys!

I actually threw this one together for myself one year and I still have these hand-cutouts tucked away in my bin full of keepsakes.

While I’m not overly sentimental, there are a handful of things (pun intended) from when my kids were younger that I simply refuse to throw away.

Their first outfits, every single photo, and anything with their handprints on it.

That said, there is seriously nothing better than a simple handprint craft — and this one couldn’t be easier!

  • Supplies Needed

The supplies list on this one is small, you guys!

In fact, you likely already have most of the necessary items lying around your home.

Colored cardstock, tape, plastic knives, a cute coffee mug (or vase), and Mom’s favorite chocolates are seriously all you need!

Give mom something she can truly treasure this Mother’s Day by gifting her a timeless hand bouquet!

  • Instructions

First, trace each of your kiddos’ hands on the colored cardstock of their choice.

Then, cut out the handprint shapes and tape them onto the plastic knives; set them aside.

Last, fill the coffee mug (or vase) with Mom’s favorite chocolates and stick each handprint inside.

Yes, it really is that simple!

Once your Mother’s Day hand bouquet craft is complete, you are ready to start gifting!

This fun project is perfect for Mom and Grandma alike.

Take this fun craft up a notch by having children sign their names on the back of their handprints and pairing it with our printable keepsakes!

Hey guys! I’m Mary, homeschool mom of 3 amazing kiddos.

I’m so excited that you decided to check out my little corner of the world!

If you have been following our journey for any length of time, you already know that I’m obsessed with coffee, organization, and all things simple.

I’m also a huge dog lover and introvert 💗

My homeschool style is very eclectic.

I enjoy a solid mixture of structure and free range. I set goals for myself and my children each week, but I put no pressure on perfection.

We use a wide variety of curriculum in our home.

Some of our current favorites are The Good and the Beautiful, Life of Fred, Beautiful Feet Books, and Lifepac.

While my kids do spend a good amount of time learning at desks, they also spend countless hours exploring their creativity and practicing a little independence.

I love mountains, rainy days, and sitting by the campfire. 

Our family recently relocated to the PNW and we have been enjoying finding new nature spots to explore together 🙌🏼

I can’t wait to connect and share all the things I’ve learned on our new journey! 

Just a Note…

Thanks for checking out the kid activities portion of the blog! 

Typically summer is the most productive time for my blog. However, our family is currently living in temporary housing and we do not see an end in sight (thank you housing marking 😪) — meaning my workspace & supplies to produce quality content it extremely limited.

I am still working, but it’s nothing like normal.

As always, we appreciate your patience!
