Mother's Day Poems and Wreaths



We used paper plate, glue, construction paper, paint brush, and paint to make the wreath .








Here are some Mother's Day Poems I found:

Every day I am exploring, touching everything I've found.

I leave behind my little marks and hand prints all around.

You clean up those hand prints but someday when I’m grown you’ll wish you had just one hand print to keep for your own.

I made this hand print for you so that one day when I am tall you’ll remember what my hand looked like long ago when I was small.



Second Poem:


I made this hand print for you

So that one day when I am tall

You'll remember what my hand looked like

long ago when I was small.




Also, if any of you ever make the crafts shown on my blog I would love to hear about it.

I made the sheep back in March. I found it at a friend's blog and then found out that your idea was the original. I've saved many of the crafts to do with my boys this summer.

These wreaths turned out great!
I should have brought craft supplies to the beach because it's supposed to rain tomorrow. It was sunny and warm today though so we tried to get in a lot of beach time.

Miss you guys!

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
