Need good idea for mother's day craft?

Question

I teach 2-4 year olds in a Sunday school class and need a good idea for something to make as a mother's day gift. Needs to keep little ones attention, they have a hard time staying on task. Another problem I have is that they are not very interested in coloring. Any help is appreciated...

Answer 1

take pictures of all of them, then get some cheap foam picture frames and have them decorate them with some of those little foam cutouts that r like sticky on the back so u dont have to use glue!! i did this when i was about that age and it was really fun!! good luck!

Answer 2

Try the Things to Make for Mother's Day book from Usborne Books.  http://www.ubah.com/ecommerce/details.as...

Answer 3

We  decorated flower pots and put in a fake flower-so it will last forever!

-Flower pot was an upside down flower pot-I stuck hole in top of it. Children choose colour card to wrap and stick around it. Then they put stickers and things around it-they pushed flower in the hole (choosing own colour flower) and then put some tiessue paper to look like soil and hide the hole :)

The mums really liked it :)

Other ideas:

-Icing biscuits

-Take their photos with polaroid and kids can decorate a photo frame to put pic in.

-Handpainting-with a nice poem underneath-they can often be found on internet if you search.

Answer 4

Answer 5

How about making some home made play dough, have the children roll or pat it out fairly flat and use cookie cutter to make the shape they choose as a present for mommy. Let them dry. You could use a pc. of yarn to make a string so they can hang it somewhere. They could decorate their pc. with beads, sequence, glitter, noodles, buttons, etc... I have a number of crafts my kids made for me when they were little...my baby is now 23 and I still have all of their crafts to this day.

Answer 6

little paper cards
