eek!!! When is mother's Day????? I also teach that age group and hadn't even THOUGHT of mother's day
How bout a flower basket? get a paper plate, cut it in half, paste the two halves together along the seam leaving the flat part open, have them color and draw on one side and then make a handle and stuff with paper flowers. I made one for my mom one year and she kept in on the wall in the living room. Mines had fake flowers and a verse was pasted on the front (can't remember what it said....) I'll probably have my kids do this one cause it's fun and not too messy (we've been having over 10 kids every week in my class)
