Mother's Day activities
By Junetta

This is one that I have done for 5 or 6 years now and the mothers simply love it. It actually is not something that the kids make, but I always do another activity related to this one that the kids actually do.

Right after
winter break, I ask the parents to send in 2 or 3 of their child's favorite recipes. I tell them that we are going to be doing an activity this spring with them. I send a form so that they abbreviate the same, list ingredients at the top, etc. Then I type the recipes on the computer and at the bottom of each recipe I put the mother's name and under that I type Mother of (the child's

name). After I have the first copy proofed, I go through a clip art book with foods as well as other clip art books and if a recipe has bananas in it then I cut out a banana clip art, if the recipe has apples in it, then I put an apple clip art around it. I then copy them and make a cover (colored paper) and put Mother's Day poetry on the inside cover and laminate it (cover only). I use a binding machine and bind them and send them home with the rest of their Mother's Day stuff.
