    Mother's day gifts

    I feel like I've done all of the regular picture fames/handprints/decorate a flower pot etc as Mother's day presents in previous years. Any suggestions for something a bit more unique and not too pricey that the kids can do? Thanks in advance.

    Not sure if you've done this one already, but I'm going to have the kids make paper mache bowls and then paint them. I saw it on Pinterest, (of course), and thought it was the cutest thing. I real keepsake!

    Last year the kids made homemade scented bath salts as the mother's day present. I was easy, and I put it in glass jars from the dollar store after they were done mixing it. They also decorated the labels that I put on the outside of the jars.

    I haven't decided yet either.

    Thinking decorated plates, tea towels, oven mitts, wine glasses....or maybe something else. Will look on Pinterest today so I can get my supplies this weekend

    I just googled a homemade bath salts recipe - it believe it had almond oil, lavender extract, epsom salts and a few drops of food colouring to tint it (I wrote the ingredients on the label encase anyone had a sensitivity to anything). It was a bit expensive buying the supplies, but a little goes a long way and I kept the leftovers to use myself! :-)

    The kids each helped measure out the ingredients and them mixed it themselves, and done! Super easy and looked really nice in the glass jars.

    Going to try this with a variation - using diluted white craft glue on the yarn like you would use to make the string on a balloon - ie dries hard when done. Then just let them dangle the piece of yarn onto a piece of wax paper or plastic plate in a pile to make the flower. Add a pompom for the centre of the flower and pipecleaner stems. Each flower will be unique - then stand them all in a covered and decorated can.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
