Mothers Day crafts

[bright sparks]

Like with all crafts, I tell the parents they will never have a craft or picture on their fridge that I have done lol So when I have very little ones, like I do now, I make a keepsake for the moms. I trace their hands and attach some ribbon from one to another which spans the same length as the child, and write on one hand "I love you..." and the other hand"...this much." I may also get the kids to fingerpaint some little terracotta pots and add a small plant. For fathers day, I like to trace a single hand, place a picture of the child in the centre, laminate it and add a magnet to the back. We also fingerpaint ties too.

Who has time to do that?? Lol. All of our stuff is made by the kids too

I used to never do crafts, just art, but over time I've introduced them into my program. Damn Pinterest!!!

On the plus side though, kids love making them for their parents. I wish I was as crafty as these kids lol

I literally spend one single naptime doing them for everyone, maybe an 1 1/2 hrs and the mothers always love them as a keepsake.

I tend to do more sensory activities with the younger kids who may not be interested in crafts. I love crafting with the kids and Pinterest makes it so much easier.
