Mother’s Day is the perfect day to gift from the heart. Moms everywhere love to receive gifts, whether store bought or homemade, because, truly, it is the thought that counts for us. The fact that you went out of your way to do something for us just melts our mama hearts. Every. Time.
Easy Thumbprint Flowers Craft for Mother’s Day
While flowers seem to be a Mother’s Day standby, when you take the time to “make” the flowers it adds a little extra sentiment to the giving.
Wanna replicate this easy thumbprint flowers craft at your house? Here’s what you will need:
Thumbprint Flowers Craft Supplies
- Cardstock
- Glue
- Popsicle sticks

Simple is the name of the game in our house, so I love the fact that this craft is pretty easy for the kids to complete without a lot of my intervention.
Get Crafty with these Directions
1. Let your kids decorate the popsicle stick with the markers or crayons.
2. Help them glue the sticks down to the cardstock.
3. Make the “flowers” by using your kids’ thumbs as the petals.
