Listen, pals. There's still time to whip out your DIY hat and win Mother's Day with this beautiful (and easy!) craft.

Here's what you need*:

Blank stretched canvas, square, any size (8 x 8 inch is an excellent size)
Acrylic paints in various colours (if you've got a whole pile of kids, maybe give each one their own signature colour)
A template (cut a heart out of a piece of paper. Boom! Template.)
Some fingers. Kid fingers. Your own fingers. Whatever fingers you think the special lady in your life will want to see on her Mother's Day craft.

Here's what you do:

Prepare your canvas by taping your template onto the canvas with painter's tape (so you don't damage the edges of your canvas when you take the template off).

Pour a small amount of one colour of paint onto a palette or plate or paper towel, whatever works for you.

Lightly dab a finger in the paint and then gently tap on the canvas to create fingerprint polka dots. Continue with different fingers and colours, allowing some drying time in between colour changes. Make sure you do some dots along the edge of your template so your heart has a nicely defined shape.

Allow to dry completely.

Make a legend: write the names of the owners of the fingerprints on the back edge of the canvas and have them do a single fingerprint beside their name in their signature colour. Make sure the paint on the front of your canvas is BONE DRY before you flip it over to do this part.
