Every mama (or grandmama) loves flowers so we’ve tracked down three easy ways for the kids to deliver some this Mama’s Day, without the crazy expense.

Let’s start with this one, voted most likely for THIS mama to receive this Sunday morning!

These hand print paper lillies are so cute!  Trace and cut out the kids’ hand prints for the petals, cut out some leaves then attach all to a pipe-cleaner.  If you want to be extra fancy, add a yellow pipe-cleaner to the centre.

Here is another terribly simple, yet terribly gorgeous, craft idea.
