Flowerpot
Need: terra cotta pots(1 pot per child), construction paper scraps,
black markers, decoupage or white glue, silk flowers, foam brick (green).
Place tape on the bottom of each flowerpot to write the child's name
on. Have children tear construction into small pieces and glue onto
the flower pots. After gluing children take a black marker and trace
around the each piece scrap construction paper that is on the flowerpot.
After the children have finished their flowerpots an adult needs to
give each pot 2 coats of decoupage (available in craft stores) or 2
coats of white glue. Let dry.
Have a bunch of silk flowers for the children to pick from. Place a
piece of foam brick in each pot and have the children push their
flowers into the brick. Can add green grass under the flowers.
Note: Parents will love this gift as it looks fantastic!

Hand Print
Need: playdough, plaster of paris, meat tray
Take a clean tray and place on table. Place playdough in container
and shape to the size of meat tray. Leave a edge of playdough around
the tray. This keeps the plaster of paris from running out.
Next place a child's hand in the playdough making a deep impression
in the playdough. Then mix the plaster of paris and pour into the
tray covering the handprint. Let this dry. This depends on how thick
the plaster is when you mixed it. When dry you can peel the playdough
from the plaster. This will leave a handprint for you to decorate any
way you wish.
