Mother's Day Balloon Craft for kids

Mother's Day will soon be here!

If you're needing a cute and easy way to say I love you to the Mother's in your life, this craft is for you. A lovely Mother's Day craft for kids! 

Supplies:

• Washable Paint (aka: fingerpaint, tempera paint, poster paint) in any color.
• White Paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Craft Foam (any color)
• Black Marker
• (Need a good deal on supplies? check out our Supplies-Recommendations Post!)

Step 1: Paint a piece of paper in the color of your choice. You can use your fingers, a paintbrush, or anything you desire. Let the paint dry (overnight is good).

Step 2: Once it's all dry, fold the painted paper in half and cut out 3 heart shapes about 1-2 inches tall.

Step 3: Unfold the hearts and with a black marker write the words, "happy mother's day" -- one word on each heart.

Step 4: Cut out small pieces of craft foam and glue them to the back of the hearts. This will help them pop out a little bit. Just like we did in our Lego Birthday Invitations!

Step 5: Glue the hearts to the top half of a piece of paper. Below the hearts, draw a stick figure.

Step 6: Next, draw lines from the bottom of each heart to the stick figure arm. These are the strings holding the "heart ballons." Then draw a small bow.

Step 7 (optional): You can leave your stick figure as is, or if you want, you can embellish it with a fancy hair-do!

ALL DONE!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

*P.S. The best finger paints around are by Crayola. They are the perfect consistency. Not too runny and not too thick. And best of all they are completely washable--and so easy to wipe off tables, fingers, and wash out of clothes. I HIGHLY recommend them for painting crafts with kids.
