It's Mother's Day this Sunday in the UK and it seems that every toddler, preschool and church group is full of activities that children can do to show their appreciation for their mothers. I thought I would share a couple of simple ideas that I picked up along the way before sharing our own Mother's Day Card which Wugs and Dooey will give to my mother this weekend.
The Gift Card
The teapot card was made by Wugs at preschool this week. It appears to have been made from pre-cut shapes (of decorative paper) that he had to stick together to create the teapot shape. The little message and the attached teabag inside the card is a nice effect. An inexpensive card that could be put together quickly using pages from magazines or wrapping paper.
The "MUM" Banner Card
This adorable banner card was decorated by my 22 month old Dooey. I discovered this idea at a toddler craft lunch. The card was cut from (what looks like) a folder (it is longer than A4). This occupied Dooey for ages, He decorated it with felt-tip pens, stickers and Do-A-Dot stampers.
The Flower Card
This card was of our own inspiration after a walk around some gardens last week with my mum. The card is made from tissue paper and paint. I've written a detailed post about how we made it here.
