These printables are free for personal, home and classroom use. This means you are welcome to print as many copies as you need for use with your own kids, personal classroom, etc. Please do not mass produce these.

Supplies you need:
A printer with ink
Tape or glue
A pen or marker to fill in the answers
Crayons or markers to color if you print the black and white option
Popsicle sticks if you want to reinforce the flowers
Magnetic tape if you want to put it on the refrigerator
Two Versions:
Option one already has colors to simply print. This is beautiful and quick and easy but does take a lot of ink so I wanted to give another option.

Option two is a black and white version that can be printed on colored paper or printed on white paper and colored by the child to save ink. This is especially good if you have a child who loves to color. Definitely have them color before cutting out the pieces. It is much easier that way.

Printing:
The most durable option will be card stock. If you want your bouquet to last a long time, that would be a great idea. See below to help your flowers stand; that is also a good way to make them durable and works well too.
**Important! Make sure you have your print setting NOT to print on both sides of the paper for this!
Help your flowers stand:
Another way to give your paper stability is to tape or glue a popsicle stick behind the flower stalk and flower as shown below. This worked very well for me. See the step by step pictures to see how I did it.
Overlap the stem just a little bit over the flower.
Line up the popsicle stick so it covers both pieces well.
Put a piece of tape long ways on the flower piece and width ways on the stem piece.
Use your nail to push the tape against the popsicle stick well.
You shouldn’t be able to see the tape. If it is a little too long, you can fold it around the flower if it is transparent enough or just cut it off carefully.
Ways to display your bouquet:
In the printable flower pot; glue, tape or staple the two pieces of the pot together and you will have a flower pot to put your flowers inside. Mom can tuck it anywhere she would like to see it often. Gluing is your best option here, as tape or staples will show. Put the glue around the edges like this but not on the top edge. You want to be able to put the flowers in the top.
My favorite idea is to attach a short strip of magnetic tape to the back of the pot and put it on the refrigerator.
(Hint: I put a tissue in the bottom to give the flowers a little boost.)
If you have plenty of refrigerator space and want to see all of the flowers well, you could also do away with the pot and add a small strip of magnetic tape to each flower and display all of the flowers on the refrigerator.
In a real flower pot: attach your stem and flowers to a popsicle stick with some stick showing at the bottom to stick into the dirt of the flower pot. (You will just move the popsicle stick down an inch or so when you tape it.) Note that if the dirt is very wet, the water will soak up into the wood of the popsicle stick over time and ruin your flowers.
Hint: If you want to use just the flowers, you can change the print settings to print just pages 1-4 to save ink.
And here is a beautiful homemade Mother’s Day card you can make for Mom to go with it! 😊
