Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing
I'll be all grown up some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Handmade Gifts for Mother's Day

Use the Handprint Mother's Day Poem and take the meaning of "handmade" to a whole new level with these simple Mother's Day crafts.

Handprint Plate

Create a special plate for the mother-of-honor to use every year on Mother's Day by simply dipping your child's hand in ceramic paint and placing a handprint in the center of a white ceramic dinner plate.

You could also get a little more creative with this idea and print the Handprint Mother's Day Poem in the center of the plate and use the tip of your child's finger to create fingerprint flowers around the plate's border. Use a thumb or index finger for the center of the flower and the pinky for the petals.

Handprint Flower Centerpiece

Trace your child's handprint onto several pieces of colored construction paper. Cut the handprints out and glue each one to a piece of florist wire (available at your local craft store).

Purchase a small, decorative flower pot, or decorate one yourself. Place a piece of floral foam inside the pot and stick your handprint flowers into the floral foam to create a beautiful handprint flower arrangement.

Handprint Wall Hanging

On a canvas (purchase from your local craft store), create a handprint border by dipping your child's hand in craft paint (use different colors to add interest) and placing handprints all around the perimeter of the canvas. Paint the Handprint Mother's Day Poem in the center of the border and have each family member sign the masterpiece that is sure to be cherished for years to come.

Personalized Gift

Type the Handprint Poem in a pretty font on your computer. Print it off onto a piece of iron-on transfer paper and transfer the poem onto an apron, a T-shirt, a canvas tote bag or any other article appropriate for the recipient. Add a hand print to the piece using craft paint and you have yourself a wonderful, personalized Mother's Day gift any mother is sure to love.
