Mother's Day
By Joy

Clip to ScrapBook   
We create a Mother's Day Book where each third grader writes about his/her mother. It includes:

* a description
* why she is so special
* what makes her the best Mom
etc.

The kids each type their own stories
and add cute clip art. I make a copy of each story and use the book binding machine to create a class book. The kids love reading their piece as well as their friends. Each child is responsible for designing his/her own cover. We wrap these and attach a beautiful flower project on top of the package. I always receive wonderful notes from the Moms who cherish this keepsake project.

You

can also make silk flower pens to attach to the package. They're so cute. You cover ball point pens with floral tape and attach a silk flower. I'm sure you can find the directions somewhere on the net if you're interested. Good luck finding the perfect gift idea for Mother's Day!
