Now, guide your child to position the handprint flowers on top of the jar. Glue them in place.

Open the card and encourage your child to write a special message inside,

Isn’t this handprint flower card such a sweet Mother’s Day craft idea?

Spring Books for Kids
Let’s read! Reading aloud to children is a great way of helping them develop their love for reading. It also helps your child communicate better, helps them with focus, and helps them to become more curious about the world around him or her!
Add in some more reading with these fun spring books:
Too Many Carrots: This adorable book about a rabbit with way too many carrots will have your kids giggling! When he loads on too many that he can’t even go in his house, he’s on the hunt for somewhere to live. Read what happens as his friends try to help. This book is cute and has a great message of sharing!
Pete The Cat and the Cool Caterpillar: Pete’s new friend is a caterpillar! But when his best buddy goes missing, Pete has to find out what happened to him. He soon realizes he’s going to need a lot of patience to discover what exactly happened to his caterpillar!
I Don’t Want To Be A Frog: Little frog wants to be anything but, you guessed it, a frog. He tries his hand at being a cat, rabbit, pig, and owl, but he just can’t manage to be like them. All along the way, his dad encourages him to just be a frog, but it’s not until he has a surprise run-in with a wolf that he rethinks what it means to be a frog.
