Mother's Day Craftiness

I'm a big fan of homemade gifts and cards, especially when kids are involved. I had an inspiration that I acted on this morning, so I thought I'd share it.

supplies:
heavy stock paper
ruler
kid-safe ink pad
scissors
envelopes
baby wipes
markers

*I measured and scored the paper, lengthwise, so that when folded it would fit in the envelopes I had.
*I then folded the paper on the scoreline, back and forth, so I could rip it and leave a decorative jagged edge.
*Then I measured, scored and folded the paper, so that I had three equalish sections. (Obviously you could do as few or many sections as you wanted to do.)
*Then I covered each child's hand with ink and pressed it on the paper. (The girls were watching tv while I did it, which made it quite easy to gain their cooperation. Linus on the other hand...)
* I reapplied ink after each paper (we made three for our three grandmas)
* I washed off their hands, on the spot, with a baby wipe or two.

*I wrote their name and age by their hand print.

*On the back, behind where their hand print is, I wrote what they told me when I asked them, "What do you love most about...?"

*Here's a sampling of their answers. Some cute. Some sweet. Some silly.


*But I'm thinking that the grandmas will like them all the same.
