It also makes a great yard decoration. The one below was done with my one-year old. Follow the step-by-step directions below to make your very on footprint/handprint flower pot.

Step 2: Press your child’s foot onto the flower pot.

Step 3: Repeat step 1 and step 2 with the other foot. Make sure the feet are close to each other on the flower pot.

Step 4: Paint a black line between the feet. This will be the butterfly’s body and antenna.

Optiona1 Step 6: Paint I love you, Happy Mother’s Day or any other saying to add something a little special to your flower pot.

If giving as a gift you can add a flower to the pot.  Another idea is to fill the flower pot with candies or cookies.  You can also use it as a basket and fill it with other goodies.
