Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Mother's Day Gift
Construction paper (colored and white)
glue
picture of child
tempera paint
pen or poem
ribbon
Print out poem...
These little hands will never grow, These little hands will stay, just so, When I'm grown and far away, These little hands with you will stay.
I print the poem and center it on an 81/2 x 11 sheet of plain copier paper. To each side of the poem I paint the child's hands and make handprints. Just below the poem I place a picture of the child that was taken in the classroom. If the child can write he or she can sign their name and date the paper. If not, then I do it. I then use the colored construction paper for a background, and place the white sheet on top in a matching color. I then laminate it, roll it up, and tie with a ribbon for each child to present to Mom.
