dublinbay Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 What a lovely idea, will have to try this! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How about a book mark. We have done this in the past. Cut out an oblong with a point at the end. Hole punch up the sides and then the children can practice threading with ribbon. They look really nice. If you want you can also cover them in a doiley before hole punhcing. Something for them to keep and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Just being pedantic but please remember it's actually 'Mothering Sunday' not 'Mothers's Day', which is a commercialisation of the religious roots of this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The teapot card sounds nice. How do you make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreamay Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) we basically cut round a teapot shape in card. there is a rhyme to paste inside and we hang a teabag inside. if somebody doesnt come forward with the rhyme i will try and remember to get it but not in til mon as on course tomo oh and we usually decorate it with flower printing or finger prints is effective for a spotty teapot Edited February 21, 2008 by Andreamay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 one of the ones we did last year was Mother's Day Kisses Place 2 heart chocs back to back in the bowl of a spoon. Cover with netting and tie a small ribbon. To The ribbon bow attach the following poem: Happy Mother's Day A spoonful of love And a couple of wishes That you enjoy your Mother's Day Kisses! another teapot rhyme I once used is Just put the kettle on to boil And have a cup of tea Then sit down in your favorite chair And cozy up with me! Today you don't need sugar I really want to say My love will sweeten everything You touch on Mothers' Day! killowengirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 OOh in that case - have you done the boxes? These are - well in the past we have used rectangular blocks of wood my husband has made - rectangles, you could collect those big cooks matches matchboxes, then the children wrap them in pretty paper with bows and everything on, and you affix a label which says "This is a very special gift That you can never see The reason it's so special, It's just to you from me You never can unwrap it Please leave the ribbon tied Just hold this box close to your heart It's filled with love inside Whenever you are lonely Or even feeling blue You only have to hold this gift To know I think of you."

Guest Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 What lovely ideas Simple enough for me to do with the parent and toddler group, I always try too hard, last year each child got to take home a clay handprint for mothers day and footprint for fathers day. This year I'm trying to simplify it! Its hard trying to get everything completed in one and half hours each week. Does anyone have a teapot template the could upload and then I can set my husband cutting them out. Another idea I did whilst working in pre-school is a babyfood jar, tissue paper and glue the outside and place paper flowers made by the children inside. Something to keep forever.

HappyMaz Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Mothering Sunday is March 22nd this year. Mothering Sunday and my mum's birthday were close together, neatly topped off by St Patrick's day! So March always provided cause for celebration in our house. Hope MrsWeasley has put the date in her diary! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisse Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Last year we just let the children choose what card they would like to make and then put them in envelopes and went on a walk to the post office to post the cards home to mummy for Mothering Sunday. We had lots of fab feedback from parents saying that the children really understood the journey of the cards and purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
