Mother's Day Craft
May
Now I know that Mother’s Day is over, but I didn’t want to post this beforehand since Hailey was giving this project as a gift to her grandmothers. It’s really cute though, so I still want to post it and maybe you’ll like it enough to tuck it away for next year.
Mother’s Day Hand-print Poem
What You’ll Need:
Two Paper Plates
Poem
Paint
Skin Tone Paper
Pink Card Stock
Washable Paint
Assorted Ribbon, Lace and Silk Flowers
Glue
Scissors
Directions:
Spread paint in one paper plate. Press the child’s hand into the paint and on to card stock to make hand-print. Trace around the hand and cut out. Allow child to paint the other paper plate. Print poem on pink card stock. Cut out in the shape of a heart. Decorate the edge of the paper plate with flowers, ribbon and/or lace. Cut a 30″ piece of ribbon make a loop in one end. Glue to the back of the plate with a loop at the top for a hanger. Glue the heart poem to the bottom of the ribbon under the hand-print as shown in photo (below). Add a bow to decorate.
The poem that I used says:
Someday I will be big
And gone upon my way
But here’s my little hand-print
To remind you
of this day
XOXO

Mother's Day Ideas
Apr
Oh my goodness, I have been neglecting this blog. I was doing really good there for a little while and now I haven’t posted in several days. The weather has been nice and we’ve been pretty busy being out and about.
But, I realized that Mother’s Day is only three weeks away, so I thought I should post some ideas for Mother’s Day activities to do. Of course I won’t tell you what I’m doing with Hailey for her grandmothers because I have no idea yet what we’re going to do then it won’t be a surprise.
Personally I love the homemade gifts from children for any occasion, so I am going to share some links with you to some sites that have cute ideas that your children can make.
- ChildFun Family Website– has a list of over 20 different activities. They also have some Mother’s Day Poems.
- You can find many activities for Mother’s Day on the A to Z Teacher Stuff site.
- At Family Corner you can find a variety of crafts, stories, recipes, etc for Mother’s Day.
- Kaboose has some adorable projects your kids can do for Mother’s Day.
- You can find cards, poems, crafts and more at DLTK.
- Free Kids Crafts has some really cute ideas for Mother’s Day.
There is a lot more out there, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with too many choices. If you find a really spectacular site with Mother’s Day crafts please feel free to let me know and I’ll add it to the list.
