Step One: Paint the Background

Add squirts of several different blues onto the canvas. Give the kiddo a paint brush and have them swirl the paint all around to create the “sky” background.

Step Two: Add a Photograph

During recess one day I photographed each of my students. You can ask them to pose however you would like.  I think I said, “arms up and give me a big smile!”

After the pictures were printed I cut the children’s body then Mod Podged them to the dried background.

Simply add sealer to the canvas, lay the photograph on top, then add another layer of Mod Podge on top of the photograph. Allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step Three: Let the Kiddos Paint!

Allowing the children to add their personality to the Mother’s Day gift is the best part of this project. I provided a palate of colors then gave them a few directions:

  1. Paint a Sun Up Top
  2. Paint Grass on the Bottom
  3. Add some Flowers (after the “grass” has dried)

Each of one the DIY Mother’s Day gifts are different. The children are so proud to wrap them in tissue paper to give to their mothers at our preschool’s special Mother’s Day tea.

Magnets can be glued to the back for refrigerators.
