Mother’s Day

It’s been ages since I last posted on this blog, and as usual, I’m fashionably late to the Mother’s Day craft ideas – but in my defence, the last week or so has been absolutely CRAZY. There’s been so much going on, and finding the time to sit down and create something new for Mother’s Day had to take a back-seat.

But not this weekend!

I’ve filmed a tutorial for this fun, pop-up-like Mother’s Day card, which can do double duty as a thank you card or just a fun general purpose card that kids can make. I made a variation of this card with Grade 1/2 students earlier in the week and the best part is this is completely copy free. (That’s right, no arguments with the photocopier and coloured cardstock!)

Materials:

Coloured cardstock in a variety of colours
Scissors
Glue
Pencil
Markers (optional)

How to:

This is an easy-to-modify card that can be used in lots of different ways. I hope that it inspires you to create your own interpretations on the more traditional Mother’s Day cards.

Have a wonderful weekend (especially to all the mums out there)!

Now for some fun Mother’s Day activities:

This has been a super-popular product of mine recently, and I really do love it. Simple, easy to do craftivity that can be adapted to meet the needs of your students! (Australian and US spellings for mum/mom included!)

This is primarily a Valentine’s Day activity, but would also be totally appropriate for Mother’s Day, too!

And finally, my most recent pack! I’m so proud of this one!

This pack is especially for those teachers who need a last minute activity or two, that would also make lovely gifts for Mother’s Day.

This pack includes Silly Sentence Sorts, 2 versions of mini-gift books for Mother’s Day, Mother’s Day certificates and Mother’s Day coupon books! (All activities available in Australian and US options!)
