DIY Mother’s Day Handprint Flower Pot
This simple project is an easy craft and is perfect for mothers day. Even if you like to give fresh flowers, you can use this painted handprint pot as a way to hold them! Or, if you don’t want to incur an extra cost, fingerprint flower pots are cute on their own! Have the kids add a little sweet poem on the flower designs if they want to take it over the top!
Supplies needed:
- terracotta pot
- your favorite acrylic paints
- foam brushes
- your favorite flower – real or artificial
Here’s the how-to make this Mother’s Day Craft with Kids!
1. Gather supplies
First – gather your craft supplies that can be picked up at any big box or craft store – or even from your shed!
2. Paint
Next, using your paint and foam brush, paint the flower pot on the outside. You may need two coats to get your desired color since the pot absorbs some of the paint. Let your flower pot dry completely before moving on to the next step.
3. Make the handprint
Once your pot is dry – chose a coordinating color and paint your kiddoโs hand and carefully place it on your flower pot and pull it away to create an adorable handprint.
Seeโฆsuper cute! I then took a chalk pen and wrote โmomโ on the rim of the flower pot. You could use paint if youโre really artsy, a marker, or just leave it blank. Totally up to you!
Fun tips for Making this Handprint Craft for Mother’s Day
I love chalk pens because you can erase and start over if you mess up! I need a little forgiveness when it comes to these kinds of things. I blame it on being left-handed. It really is a right-handed world! haha!
Once you let it all dry completelyย – ย you’re ready to place your favorite flower in the flower pot. I chose these purple Violas that just scream โSpring!โ. Plus – they are really hardy and easy to keep looking nice and fresh!
Variations
To make this Mother’s Day flower pot extra special,ย ย make a little flower cut out with fancy scrapbook paper and place your sweet childโs face right in the middle, attach with a hot glue gun to a bamboo stick or flower stake and stick it right in the flower pot. So. Very. Cute!
You can also use a paper plateย or some green paper and white paper to create the flower in the middle! This is a fun way for little hands to work on scissor cutting skills, too! In the center of the flower, put a cute little picture!
There you go – aย super easy and super cute keepsake Motherโs Day Craft that wonโt break the bank AND is easy and fun to make!
Donโt forget to grab that adorable toddler and snap a picture with their little flower pot. If they’re anything like mine, they’ll be super proud of their work! Happy Motherโs Day!

How do you make it so the paint doesnโt bleed off after you water the plant? I even used clay pot sealer.
What size pots should I buy? I work with 2 year olds?
Do you have to seal it. After all is done.?

Help me I am wondering if you can help me with a project. I want to try taking a flower pot and spray painting it with glow-in-the-dark paint but then put handprints on the pot with a different glow-in-the-dark paint. Do you think this would be possible.
