Easy Ideas For Mom's Day - Mother's Day Crafts and Activities
Easy Ideas For Mom's Day
Here's some super fast ideas!
Have the children go through magazines and find pictures of all the things their mothers do. Cut them out and glue them onto construction paper. The same can be done for dad. Another variation is to have the children cut out pictures to represent the people in their family and the things they like to do as a family.
Because some children do not live with (some do not even know) one parent or the other (or either), remind children that they can make gifts for "Someone Who Is Like a Mother To Me" or "My Special Person" ....
How many people are in your family? Who is in yours? What daddies and mommies do? Favorite activities with mom, dad, siblings? Old/young; grandparent, parent, child, etc. . .
Have the children discuss what other Mom's in other countries might do.
Talk with the children about what mother's do and what their mother does for them.
Name three mothers in your family. Name three mothers outside your family. Name three people who might be mothers one day. How are human moms like animal moms, and how are they different? What do you think moms like about being moms?
Ask the child to tell you one thing they love about their mom and then write it on a big heart which you paste into the center of a fingerpainting the child has done and then display them for everyone to read. (great for daycare centers or groups like girl scouts, etc)
For Mother's Day we usually paint a plant pot and then re-pot a petunia into the pot.
