This Mother’s Day handprint craft is perfect to use with your students for Mother’s Day. You can make this on card – or even a canvas.. And it’s the perfect keepsake for your student’s mothers to keep. As a mother myself, keepsakes like this mean the world. And they’re super easy to make in the classroom too.
In this blog post I’m going to share instructions for how you can make this craft, and the materials you will need. You’ll also find links to a bunch more Mother’s Day crafts and activities that you can use with your students too.
