Mother’s Day Gift

Mother’s Day is getting near and near and the children have been working very hard on their mother’s day gifts.  This year’s project had a lot of steps but the end result has turned out wonderful as you all can see.  The children are so excited to give their moms their special bouquet made with lots of love by their little ones.  

 Each child collected small sticks from the play yard and painted them (used for the flower stems).  Next the children painted egg carton flowers in bright colors and sprinkled them with glitter.  Another day they did blotto painted butterflies.

 To finish off their project they created a special drawing with a saying onto a sticker that they placed on the flower box.  Once every thing was done the children placed a ball of play dough into their box and stuck the flower stems (sticks) into it.  Butterflies were attached with glitter pipe cleaners and stuck into the play dough as well.

Now that I am done with Mother’s day I can’t stop thinking about what are we going to do for Father’s day.

Flower Prints

Making flower prints with fresh flowers.  Have the children go on a scavenger hunt for different color flowers.  Set out a supply of white paper and rolling pins.  Once the children have their collection of flowers have them fold a sheet of white paper in half.  Then have them lay their flowers on one half of that paper. 

Fold the paper over the flowers.  Then let them roll the paper with a rolling pin. 

Once they are done rolling the paper have them unfold it.  They will discover that the flowers have left an impression on the paper.  Have them remove the smashed flowers and set the paper out to dry.

Have them turn their flower printed paper into Mothers Day cards or Mothers Day wrapping paper.
