Handprint Wall Art
This is a great one for older children. Have them trace their hands, cut them out and then adhere to a piece of wood. They can also do the simple embroidery, and the result is a unique and personalized piece of wall art.

Love Rocks
Kids will have a blast collecting the stones for this project. The trick is to find the smoothest stones possible! Cut fabric scraps shaped like hearts and Mod Podge onto the smooth side.

Children of all ages can decorate a pretty little pot with bright paint colors. Add soil and seeds to finish off the gift.

Strung Up Love
This pretty piece of art was made by stringing chain and yarn around nails in a heart shape. Make sure to do the hammering for younger children.

Handprint Clips
These cute floral clips are so easy to make. Make a paint handprint and cut out - then cut a stem from green paper. Attach both to a clothespin that has a magnetic back. Write a special note to mom on the back of the hand!

Floral Card
I like this paper plate idea because it can hold a gift card. Simply fold a paper plate in half, then embellish with cut out flowers and marker.
