Mothers Day Project?

[watercolor]

Ideas? OK. Here is what I have.

Fingerpaints
Butcher Paper
glue and every color paper imaginable
And kids hands and feet. (ages 4, 2.5, and 6 mths)

Trying to make something for mothers day for them to give their mom. Any ideas?

have the kids use the finger paints and construction paper to make flowers. cut out the flowers and glue them inside a construction paper card of another color.

I'm sure the parents would crack up while the kids were



How about a coupon for a night out on the town and baby sitting already taken care of with some notice

cool idea.

I think that is cool.. although, I have to say that they have like a "handprint" project from previous mothers days. So I was trying to think of something different.

Actually they are the type with the sense of humor that would

And yeah, I guess.. just trying to figure something out.

One of my most special things..

Trace their little hands on a piece of paper, or have them dip their hands in tempra paint..and then write this poem next to their handprints...

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing -
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

My son has his tiny hand prints with this poem under it framed and hanging in our kitchen. One of my most cherished possessions.

That is just the sweetest thing I ever heard. How special.

T made me a painted vase of flowers when he was in pre-k (I think).

It was just a large sheet of white paper with his handprints in red as the flowers with green stems drawn in and then they colored a the vase at the bottom. Very cute and it looked pretty simple to do (guess it had to be to atempt that project with 20+ 5y/o).


I find great ideas here all the time

My mom has 2 of these in her room from my sister and I we did them in school one year.
