Bloomin' With Love for Mom!

Today was all about Mother's Day for my littles.  We completed three different crafts from my newest packet, and we'll finish up with a letter to Mom and a silly fill-in-the-blank questionnaire about Mom tomorrow.  (I've also included versions for Grandmom and Aunt for those kids who don't live with their Mom!).  Here's a peek at what the kids did today:

 

First, we created portraits of our Moms and made free-form scrappy flowers.  Then we modpodged these onto a canvas that we'd painted green.  Tomorrow, the kids will fill out this form about their moms and we'll attach it to the back of the portraits as a funny keepsake:

 

 

Then, we decorated these flower pots I picked up super cheap at Walmart last year.  I wrote an original poem to include in the cups and I laminated the poem and attached them to a colored popsicle stick to put down in the dirt.  I'm a little late planting, so I told the kids the flowers will not bloom til after Mother's Day (hmmm....unless I sneak out there and replace the seeds with a Marigold!!)



 

Their favorite craft was a 3d heart flower we made.  I've included the templates and picture instructions for this craft in my Mother's Day packet. 

I also wrote an original poem that goes with this craft about a "love seed" that your mom planted in your heart!

The kids made a Garden of Praise for their Moms

 and tomorrow they'll write a letter to their mom using the template included:

 

Everything you need to make this a fabulous floral Mother's Day is included in my packet, which is on sale for the next few days.  Go check it out!
