Mother's Day
By NJ Teacher

We make springtime hats using painted paper plates and bowls. You cut th rim from a regular dinner paper plate and discard the center. You staple the bowl inside the hole in the center and paint in pastel colors. We decorate
the painted hats with inexpensive dollar store silk flowers and ribbon. You can have the kids do "Hats off to a great mom" card or other writing to go with it. I also like inexpensive picture frames. We have used craft foam and glued on shapes that are found at Walmart and other craft stores/departments. I have also made frames by having the kids glue pasta shapes on oaktag frames, and

spray painting them gold. Other teachers have used different colored buttons to make the frames, and they always look pretty. Parents always seem to enjoy photographs of their child, and if you have a digital camera, it is pretty cheap to make.
