First, sponge paint the outside of the flower pot, fill pot with styrofoam then glue grass ontop to cover..
Cut out flower shapes from the pastel constuction paper( 2 per child), cut leaf shapes with the green paper.
Cut out face of child from a photo and glue to the center of flower cutout. Glue flower to one end of green floral wire by sandwiching two of the flower cutouts around the end of the wire. (Make sure one of the flower cutouts has the picture on it!). Then glue leaf cutout to the middle of the wire. Place wire into the styroform and bend slightly to give the wire a nice curve. This is a great Mothers Day present... You can also write the date, and "Happy Mother's Day" on the leaves! These make great keepsakes and Teachers Gifts!!!

Balloon Battle
balloons
string
inflated balloons
Designate a certain color for each team. If you have a LOT of children you can have more teams or you don't have to have teams at all. Tie a balloon to each players ankle. Each team tries to burst the other's balloon first. The team with the last balloons wins. As your balloon is burst, you withdraw from the game.
waxed paper
styrofoam ball
glue
yellow tissue paper
pipe cleaners
beads
glitter
Place a piece of waxed paper down to protect your surface. Mix 2 parts glue to 1 part water. Tear tissue paper into small 1 - 2 inch pieces. Coat a section of foam ball with glue mixture, cover with pieces of torn tissue paper. Coat over the tissue with glue to smooth down. Repeat this until ball is completely covered. While ball is still wet, give it a sprinkle of glitter. Let ball dry completely. Cut the pipe cleaners in half and stick them into the foam ball in a row. Continue this till a row of rays are around the ball. Now you can either leave the pipe cleaners straight or you can get creative and make them bent or spiraled. Add a pony bead to the end of each pipe cleaner and twist to secure. Attach string and hang.
