Mother's Day Gift and Last Day to Enter Giveaway!

It is the last day to enter the giveaway for the 

Thirty-One Organizing Tote.

 Be sure to register before midnight. 

Is it getting busier by the day or what? My class had fun finishing up their gifts for their moms. They turned out so cute. At the last minute, I whipped up a card for the kids to make to go with their gifts. This year I had the students paint clay pots. 

They used their fingertips for the flowers and then painted the rest. 

Today they planted the flowers for our big Mother's Day Assembly tomorrow.  

HERE ARE THE POTS MY CLASS PAINTED

HERE ARE THE CARDS THEY MADE, SO SIMPLE AND LAST MINUTE!

I found some rick-rack in my craft supplies and some left over fun foam flowers. I traced their hands to create a little flower pot of flowers to match their gift. 

Here is a little poem I made up for the inside of the card.

Happy Mother's Day early to all the moms out there!

Mother's Day Gift

I have been trying to figure out which Mother's Day Gift 

I am going to make with my students. 

 I have so many past ideas that it is hard to choose. 

I think I am going to take flower pots and have the kids use their fingertips 

to make flowers on them, and then plant some flowers in them. 

One year I had the kids bring in an old shoe and we planted flowers in their shoe. The moms loved them.

Another idea I used in the past is recipe cards.

 We made cute little bundles of recipe cards for mom.

 The top recipe card is the "Recipe for a Happy Child", 

 which is a super cute verse that any MOM would love.

 It is placed on the top of  a stack of cutesy, blank recipe cards and tied with a ribbon.  

Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy as my class would say.

I have used this with preschoolers, kindergarten, and even second graders.  

To add to it, I have the students write or dictate their favorite recipe to me.

Or

Have them write about MOM's cooking. (mine would be lack of cooking)

They are hilarious!

If you need a quick activity here is a preview of my recipe cards.  I have sets of both girl and boy clip art.

I have also included 2 different writing activities that can go along with the cards. 

I just posted this on my Teacher Pay Teacher Store for $2.00.
