To avoid all the drama and get to your original question, I lilke some of the craft ideas here and I actually JUST made the pasta necklaces yesterday! All the kids loved them, we worked on patterns and putting them in order of colour etc. A great hit! The bookmark idea sounds simple and nice too!
As a "unicorn provider" I have had a mom drop off her daughter and say to her: "remember, after daycare, we are going to Aunt Shelley's birthday dinner!". Well, I helped the little girl make a birthday card for her Aunt Shelley. It was a simple, thoughtful gesture and mom appreciated it. I really would have no problem making a card for Mommy or Daddy, even if it was told to me thru the child as previously mentioned.
I dont agree that if we do it for one family, we need to do it for them all. I dont record parents birthdays, so they probably wont get one year after year!
The only time this would tick me off is if a parent said "its Mommys birthday, could you please something up for her? thanks" hahaha I think I would immediately be too busy to accomodate then. Them "hinting" to maybe if we had time etc, then I'm sure I can whip something up quite quickly!
Especially if it was the dad who asked, he is probably alot like my husband and I literally need to pull out the paper, glue, markers, glitter etc for him to sit down and help my son make ME a birthday card! Hopeless lol
Sorry you got the sidetracked opinions not about what you were originally asking about.
I always think twice about posting threads because of the criticism that goes along with it.
