Mother's Day Ideas
By April

I have done this Mother's Day project with 3rd graders and the mothers loved it. You need black poster board for every student, washable paint, a picture of every student, and a Mother's Day poem. I used one about handprints
and one day the child will be grown, but the mother will still have their handprints from when they were small. I can't remember the name of it.

(1) Glue the poem in the center of the poster board.
(2) Glue the picture above the poem.
(3) Pour the paint into paper plates and let the students put both hands into it. The students then lay their hands down on either side

of the poem.
(4) Once it has dried, laminate the project, punch two holes in the top, and tie a string through it so the mothers can hang them up.

It is messy, but it's a great project. Have someone to assist you so they can help the students get cleaned up. I got the idea from my aunt who teaches Sunday School, and I love it. It is something the mothers can keep.
