Yesterday was my mom's birthday, and I wanted to include the kids in doing something special for her. Inspired by this link, we set off with some red paint and made some prints on white cotton:
The yellow is my thumbprint. G was very excited about helping to make this present. I gave her some paper and watercolors to paint with while I worked on the second part.....
I added some embellishments to create butterflies and a bumblebee....thank you, mom for sending me to art lessons when I was little....
Finally, I set the block in the middle of some black prints from her quilt and bound the edges to make a pillow. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and it was a really fun project!

Great idea! I love the fun prints that come home with my daughter from daycare. I'll have to make some at home too.
