Favorite Mother’s Day Handprint and Footprint Crafts
Favorite Mother’s Day Crafts
Mother’s Day has always been extra special to me—especially when my children were young. I always enjoyed receiving crafts made from their little hands and feet. They usually made them at school and brought them home for Mother’s Day. Now that I’m a grandmother, I once again love receiving those special presents.
Salt Handprint Ornaments
Our first grandchild was born in July of 2013. For Christmas that year, we received a special little handprint ornament. I was lucky enough to be there when my daughter and grandson were making them. Even at 5 months old, he enjoyed making crafts. My daughter said she got the idea from the post, “Salt Dough Handprint Ornaments” by Olive Juice Mama.
With Mother’s Day around the corner, I thought I would share some of my favorite handprint and footprint crafts (hint, hint to my daughter).
Handprint Bouquet
This handprint bouquet would be perfect for Mother’s Day. I found this craft on Happily Frazzled.
Footprint Butterflies
I fell in love with these footprint butterflies the first time I laid my eyes on them. I especially like that they are created on a canvas so they can be hung on the wall. These came from Project Balancing Act.
Handprint/Footprint Apron
I love the outdoors, especially in spring. This apron reminds me of a warm spring day, and it’s decorated with handprint flowers and a footprint butterfly. I found it on Little Page Turners’ blog.
Fingerprint Hyacinths
I thought using fingerprints to create these hyacinths was genius. Aren’t they adorable? This came from Dali’s Moustache.
Fingerprint Pendants
If you like jewelry, these fingerprint pendants are perfect. You can have a piece of your little one with you wherever you go. Don’t forget to put the child’s name and date on the back. I found this craft on A Girl and a Glue Gun.
Handprint Flower Pot
If you have a passion for working in the dirt, planting flowers, vegetables or herbs’ then I bet you would love to receive this special little flower pot. This came from Michellan.
Love Canvas Art
Here is another special canvas piece. It’s the word “love” made with your little one’s handprints and footprints. This came from Country & Victorian Times.
Plaque
What grandmother wouldn’t love this piece of art?! I just need it to say Mama instead of Grandma. I found this on I Watch Them Grow.
I hope you enjoyed some of these special crafts. If you are now a grandparent, share this post with your children and give them a hint as to which items you would love to receive for Mother’s Day. I would accept any of them, with great joy. Which one is your favorite?

They are all so adorable!! I think my favourite would have to be the flower pot, I think it looks very welcoming to bees and butterflies fluttering around the garden! I hope you have lots of fun this weekend getting creative with even more prints and crafts!
Mama Carmody says
I received a pot similar to that one year from one of my preschool classes. I was so sad when it broke.
Leslie says
Those are so sweet. I especially like the butterfly ones. What a great collection!
Mama Carmody says
The butterfly one was one of my most favorites. It’s a tie between that one and the fingerprint necklace.
Yanique says
I love these! I can’t think of any mom that wouldn’t love getting one of these for Mother’s Day.
Mama Carmody says
That’s kind of what I thought.
Michele says
These are great ideas. I have a little plaque on my wall of my daughter’s hand print when she was in preschool. I wish I had one of my other daughter!
Mama Carmody says
That is so sweet. I guess you could make one with your other daughter.

These crafts are adorable. I love looking at the happy little footprints! Definitely brought a smile to my face. Thanks!
Mama Carmody says
Thanks. I loved the footprint butterflies.
Louisa Kopp says
So cute! I especially like the hyacinths.
Mama Carmody says
They are really cute. I think my favorite is the thumbprint necklace.
kim west says
Looks so fun! thanks for including me!
Mama Carmody says
No problem. I love the idea. If I don’t get a fingerprint necklace for Mother’s Day, I just may have to make it myself, when my grandson comes over. 😉
