Kids can add a message to the “water” on the watering can. For the flower pot they can add traits that they love about their mom under the petals.
There is a also a free template you can use to make both of these.

How to Make the Watering Can & Flower Pot
1. Print off the templates.
You can get the template emailed to you at the bottom of the post.
2. Cut out the templates.
Note: for the dotted line on the watering can, this is where your paper will slip through. It may be easier to use an X-acto knife (adults only) to make this opening. Only make it exactly the same size as your paper so it fits but doesn’t easily slip out. If it does slip out, you can add some tape or glue to keep it in place.
3. Color the templates.
We used paint but you can also use markers, crayons or colored pencils. Kids can also add designs to the templates.
4. Add Words to the Bottom Flower
Cut out the flower with the stem and add words to each petal. You only have to color the stem of this part.
Color the flower-only template. Then glue it on top of the flower and stem template in the center only.
You should be able to open the top petals to reveal the words or messages underneath.
Glue the flower pot to the stem.
5. For the watering can, color and add a message to the paper water.
6. Add faces or decorate the cards.
We glued on large googly eyes, added cheek marks with the back of a pencil (a paint brush would work too) and a smile to each card with a black marker.
7. Add the water paper to the watering can.
If the hole for the paper to go in is too large the paper will slip through, you can tape or glue it to keep it in place (but you won’t be able to move it in and out)
