Use a large piece of construction paper and some paint to make a very memorable Mother’s Day or Father’s Day card for the parent of a small child.
Print out the following poem on some white paper. Fold the construction paper in half and have the child decorate one side with their handprints. Paste the poem onto the other face of the paper.
Fingerprints
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small,
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But everyday I’m growing.

And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.
So here’s a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
