MY ART & CRAFT ESSENTIALS
If you want to see what is stocked inside my art and crafts cabinet, check out my must-have list below;
Instructions
1. Draw around your student’s hand on pink card 3 times.
(If you have a student who struggles with this, you can do painted handprints or just draw around one handprint and then cut that out and draw around that handprint 2 more times – see image below.)
2. Cut out the handprints.
3. Provide students with a brown crayon to decorate their flowerpot.
4. Stick the flower pot to the bottom of the green card.
5. Stick the pink handprints on the top of the green card.
6. Cut down the green pipe cleaners to make them shorter. Then, slide them into the flowerpot and slide them under the handprints. I staple them on the flower handprints just to make them more secure.

7. Cut out heart shapes from the pink crepe paper and stick to the bottom of the handprints – this will cover the staples if you use them.
8. Use a marker pen to write on the flower pot.
