Hand Print Bouquet for Grandparent's Day

Hi there! I am Shaun, Living with Peanut’s creative head. Today, I am here to share a GREAT homemade gift from your toddler to grandparents (or that special adult in their lives): a Hand Print Bouquet!

If you’re a Pinterest addict like me, you’ve seen some variation of it there. We did it a bit differently, but I’m sure it’s not unique.

My first stop was Hobby Lobby for a large pack of construction paper, foam, green pipe cleaners, and two of these:

We cut the foam to about 1/3 of the size of the bucket and placed it in. We attempted to trace her hand over and over again.

I forgot I was working with a toddler.

So I switched methods and painted her hands and let her put her stamp all over the paper!

After we were done stamping her hand (and she was bathed and asleep), I cut her hand prints out, taped the green pipe cleaners to the back and arranged them into the foam/bucket.

On Mother’s Day, we presented Meme (Marc’s mom and pictured below) and Grandma (my mom, not pictured) with these cute bouquets! And because Paige is such a sweetheart, we included Marc’s hand in his mom’s bouquet and my hand in my mom’s.

Thanks for having me, Steph!
