Every year in October we like to entertain our preschoolers with halloween activities for kids. Schools celebrate this festive time of year by having children dress up as storybook characters and doing fun activities like making decorations for either the school or for at home.

Today’s craft is to make a mothers day card. You will need construction paper, glue, glitter, crayons or markers, and stickers if you want. Once you have helped the children to put happy mothers day on the card allow them to decorate it as they see fit for their mother.
If you can use a picture of the child as well, and date the card so that mom knows what year, it would be nice.
This link has some nice crafts you could also do for Mothers Day:

There are a variety of poems to put into the cards you make today. Try to come up with roses are red, violets are blue poems, or other short rhyming verses. Here are a couple to help you:

Today’s activity is making hand prints. this will end up being a butterfly and you will need two or three different colored paints. Use black paint to paint the children’s middle finger down to the bottom of the palm. Then use either one or two different colors to fill in the rest of the hand. (I use one color for the girls and another for the boys.) Once the hand is painted have the children press it down on a piece of paper. as soon as the paint is dry draw in the antenea for the butterfly. Then write the some where on the paper,
This isnt just a butterfly
As you can plainly see.
I make it with my hand
Which is a part of me.
It comes with lots of love
Especially to say
I hope you have a very
Happy Mothers Day.
This could even be printed out and then pasted onto the paper.

I apologize for messing up the schedule already, but apparently this coming weekend is mother’s day so I should be writing about ideas and activities for them to do on this topic. So, here goes..
For yesterday’s activity you can let kids draw a picture of what they think mom looks like. Give them all the necessary crayons, markers and etc. Then help them write a special message to mom on the picture, signing their name.
For today, you can make precut shapes of the Letter M and have them fill it with colored mini marshmallows and glue, it is a gift for mom for mothers day.
I will still post about community helpers this week so that you can do both if you wish…
