Ideas on Mother's day cards to make in nursery?

Question

Any ideas for mother's day cards to make with children 3-4 yrs old. Not too hard and doesn't take long to make, as i have 50 children to get through.

Answer 1

Buy a pack of white plate doyleys, poke a single daffodill through the centre then fix underneath with a small elastic band. It looks like a very pretty posy.,,,Mum`s love them.

Answer 2

Give them a piece of paper and let them draw a picture on it then write a quote that they said about their mom on it. Works every time. :)

Answer 3

Not a card but a gift for Mothers day.... On a  piece of white paper say 4cm by 14cm write 'Happy Mothers Day Love from' and get the child to write his/her name...(dont forget to add the year - for future reference)

take long strips of coloured card slightly larger making a border to the paper.. say 5cm by 16cm and stick the paper to the card.

Turn over... ask the child to dip his/her thumb into coloured paint of contrasting colour near to the top in the middle...

then get the child to make more thumb prints around the one in the middle with a different coloured paint....

making a thumb print flower effect...

next get the child to draw a long green line from the flower to near the bottom of the card with felt tips pen representing the stem then add two leaves at the bottom .

Allow to dry then laminate.

A wonderful Mothers day bookmark gift.

the best mothers' day card i ever had was made when my childrem were small

they made handprints and the teacher had printed out something along the lines of:

you may find sticky marks everywhere now but i will soon be grown up and you may need this reminder of me when i was small

Answer 5

you could make some cards with flowers on the front not real flowers but like out of card just cut out some petals and stuff and arange them to make a flower stick them on the front and then write inside and you are done.

Answer 6

Small paper plates, coloured tissue paper cut into 2 inch lengths, string and child friendly glue. Ask the  Mums for a small photo of their child and glue this in the centre of the plate. Stick the tissue strips around the edge of the plates to make 'petals' then tape some string to the back to hang it up by. Voila! a flower Mothers day card.

Answer 8

Answer 9

One of my favorite cards I got from my daughter when she was little was a picture of a teapot and inside was a tea bag. If I remember it said to take it easy and enjoy the tea. The teacher also put a picture of each child on the card. This was a very memorable card. One alternative to having the kids draw the teapot is to have cut-outs of teapots and all the kid has to do is glue it with a glue stick. Try it. I think they did it for mothers day.
