Mother's Day
By Judy

Photos of students inserted into frames made from front of tissue boxes, decorated with lace, ribbon, etc.; cardboard backer glued on.
Can also be used for handprints or poems written by children "I love you more than ... " (a cat loves cream, a fish loves water....)

Have students plant flower seeds to plant later in pots they have decorated - acrylic paint on small terracotta pots, varnish when finished.

Make a bunch of crepe paper flowers.

Cards - IOU type, eg IOU 10 big hugs; 5 dishwasher emptyings; 30 minutes babysitting, etc.

Hope these few ideas are helpful. I have done all of these with five year olds, so 7-8 years olds should do even better! Ask the children as well - they often have great ideas that we wouldn't think of.
