hot glue gun

Directions
Paint the pots white and let dry. Glue Pots to saucers, making sure to plug up the hole in hte bottom of the pot. Fill with plaster(mix according to package directions) When it starts to set, insert plastic flowers and fork with tines UP and cover plaster with moss. When completely dry, decorate the outside and insert mom's favorite recipe on a card in the fork!!
I have a few thoughts for this craft...
Put duct tape over the hole in the flower pot before putting in the plaster of paris. Daddy will feel sufficiently manly making a craft that includes duct tape if he's forced to help make one of these for mommy.
Make thumbprint butterflies or flowers instead of splatters as decoration (see Thumbody Loves Me

If you don't need this project to last forever, you can substitute playdough for plaster of paris. Plaster is a much better choice, but according to my husband playdough works wonderfully if you're suddenly reminded Saturday evening (during hockey playoffs) that mother's day is the next morning

Stepping Stones
Materials
Bag of cement
(buy at hardware or homestore, about $3.00 for a big bag - get the kind that says premixed - just add water. Nothing fancy, just the end line stuff)
small, durable momentos to place in cement (we've used rubber frogs and bugs on one, a pacifier and a rattle in one, and hot wheels cars in one in the past)
round 9" disposable cake pans (check to make sure children's feet fit in these, if not, use a larger size)
We did our three kids, and our 2 dogs.
Each of the kids picked something special to go in theirs.
Cassie picked 2 butterfly barrettes, Conor a Star Wars toy,
and Hunter chose 2 plastic bugs he received at Bible Camp.
The rocks we used for names are aquarium gravel!
Directions
This project is easier than it sounds
Do it outside, because it gets messy! Mix cement with water according to directions on bag. Pour in tins. Let it sit until it is firm enough to hold a print. Place child's foot in center of tin and smoosh
Try to not go all the way to the bottom! Place small knick knacks around foot print like a toy, etc as listed above. Cement is hard to write in, but we were able to do initials with aquarium rocks. Let set. Cover with water to cure according to package directions. Let these set for a few days before removing from the tins. These can be buried in the garden as stepping stones, left out on the deck, or anywhere outside. Once hard, they are quite durable!
