Supplies you need:  colorful paper, straws or pipe cleaners, tape, scissors, ribbon or something to hold them together or something to put them in when done.

First take your child’s hand and trace it on a piece of paper.  Instead of doing it over and over again I cut this one out and then traced it however many times I needed it.  After tracing cut out all the hands.  This is the most time consuming part of the entire project.  If you are in a huge rush this may not work unless you can cut fast.

Once they are all cut then curve them around the top of a straw or pipe cleaner and tape it on.

Once the flower is taped on take a pen or pencil and round over the fingers to curve them.  This will make them look like a lily and more like a flower.

You can add decoration to them or put them in tissue paper or wrap them with ribbon or put them in a vase of their own.   We gave ours to grammy tonight at dinner for Mother’s Day and she loved them.  She knew right away that they were handprints of the boys.

What have you made lately that made music?

Have you built a tent lately? I bet you had fun didn’t you

One thing that I first loved about this chart was that there were many blank stickers that you can write in whatever “item/behavior” you want to work on or reinforce.  also the chart comes completely blank so you put the stickers you want on it and in the order you want.

The main thing that I wanted to work on with my little guy was using the potty.  I used the smiley faces when he went pee pee and the starts when he went poopie in the potty.  We also had sharing, picking up toys, good at bedtime.  I love that with this little fun chart (that they can put their own stickers on) can help them so much in wanting to do good behavior.  If you don’t need help reinforcing a behavior anymore than you can change a sticker and put another one really easy and change it up a little bit to make it exciting.  If you don’t need it for a little bit than put it away and than get it back out when you need to reinforce a good behavior again.  So simple, nice size and the stickers make if fun for the kids.

Here is my little guy standing next to his chart! You can see the Good Night, Sleep Tight wall chart next to it.  We were using this with big brother because he was getting out of bed.  You can read about that HERE on the blog.

Here is a description of the chart from amazon.com

One thing I came up with recently since it is just me and my two boys sometimes is to bring a little chair of their own, an ipad or phone and it gives us peace and quiet and no little ones running around and getting into trouble.

The only thing they end up doing is fighting over who gets to play games first so if you can keep track and take turns that might work for that argument.  This time my little guy played first while the big guy got cut!

We also take our own booster chair to sit on while they get their hair cut you can check this out HERE.
