Mother's Day IdeasTo do With Students

Great Mother's Day Activities

It's Mother's Day coming up and what do you have planned for your little kiddos? Not much I hear you say? Well I've decided to throw some fabulous ideas below for your viewing pleasure. You might get inspired or it might even lead to do something unique and amazing, I guess that's why I love Pinterest because it seems they have it all.

If you're a classroom teacher and wondering what brilliant craftivity to do with the kids look no further!!

Kindergarten Aged Children

Mother's Day Idea One

I found this really cute idea where students write in chalk their I love you message and throw themselves in the middle for a photograph. Simple but pretty effective if you ask me. I know, I know thank me later.

Even lookie at this idea. 

You could take photos and print them and mount them on colored card to send home to mom/mum.
Here is another great idea very similar to the one above.

Mother's Idea Two

Many parents have some excellent cupcake wrappings at home. You may also have a variety of buttons or an old cardigan ready to be chucked away. Why not cut the buttons off. Then get your students, children and or grandchildren together and they can make this excellent idea. Bright colorful and on point.

I heart crafty things: click on the picture

Mother's Day Ideas Three 

This idea I love because it involves students writing about their mum or female caregiver and she is depicted as a super hero. Craft involves cutting, pasting, assembly and writing. This might take two sessions at least to complete.

Mother's Day Idea Four

This is a nice simple handprint idea for teachers to make the template up themselves. All you need to do is to draw an outline of a hand and make it into a tree. Draw little hearts around it on a US letter sized paper and have students make this little beauty up. If I was having student make this, I would get them to color them in first rather than use colored card.   

Mother's Day Idea Five

And I love this idea, very, very simple to do. Two different colored paints, a marker and white paper. You can have young students make this beauty up. Click on the picture to take to the blog which has the instructions.

Mother's Day Idea Six

Coloring in a bookmark like this one and giving it as a voucher. How cool is that?

Printable and Easy to Assemble Envelopes and Note Paper

So I decided to make my own set of unique envelopes to download immediately. I wanted to create that cute factor and made six different sizes, from the standard small card size to tiny versions. The tiny envelopes also have notepaper to go with them. These are really for decorating personal scrapbook pages.


They look very cute, but did take a lot of time to make from using Photoshop for sizing, to using Power point for inserting as a pdf and making thumbnails.


I do like them myself and am keen to use in my personal projects. Well I will be inserting my photos and other examples from online and especially pinterest.


Hope you enjoy!

Flower Displays, Craft for the Classroom

Okay so I love crafts and always will. I found this amazing craft of the growth of a Daffodil flower and I thought I'd post it here on my blog. This is fabulous because it has a 3-D effect and what kid doesn't love 3-D? It has actual seeds in the middle as well. A lovely resource.


Do check out my Facebook account for more amazing crafts both school related and for adults.

Similar ideas with links. This is a larger craft completed
by a child. This is also really well done.

                                                                                 

And of course this little classroom beauty!  Original post.

Rocky shore or Tidal Pools Mini Diorama

Hi guys, it's been a while since my last post. But I am very excited about this great little theatre piece or should I say diorama I put together. This is perfect for studies on the Rocky shore or Tidal Pools. I love the clip art done by Educlips. 

This comes both in black and white as well as color. This is very children as young as 7 to 11. All depending on the classroom and age levels mind you. 

Please enjoy the short video I put together.
