For the week of Mother's Day, we did a foam house family portrait. It’s just foam tacky glued to poster board with family pictures. The kids had fun with this one and it looks cute. Then we did curlicue signs for my mom, sister, and grandma. These are cardstock backings with decorative paper on top. The “writing” is strips of construction paper rolled up. Those little curlicues took forever to make. So this ended up being a mostly me project since the kids lost interest pretty quickly. Both of these ideas came from a craft idea magazine my parents found. We also made Mother’s Day cards. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of those. But they were inspired by a craft from Oriental Trading. We cut out the kids’ handprints and a folded flower pot shape from cardstock. We glued one handprint on the inside of the front flap of the flower pot and the other handprint on the inside of the back flap. Then we decorated the fingertips with foam flower stickers. It turned out pretty cute…wish I had remembered to get a picture….
