Mother's Day Flowers

Enjoy making Mother's Day Flowers that will never whither and become a loving keepsake forever!

You'll need:
• garden catalogs or gardening books • construction paper • crayons or markers • scissors (optional) • glue (optional)

What to do:
Let the children in your care cut out pictures of flowers from garden catalogs, or draw pictures of flowers they see in a gardening book on construction paper.
If you are using cut-out flowers, let them paste them onto construction paper.
As they draw or create the collage, encourage your children to choose flowers that they associates with certain feelings that relate to Mother's Day. For instance, they may want to use daisies to represent happiness and roses to represent love.
Let them give the finished picture or collage as a Mother's Day bouquet to mothers, grandmothers, aunts or other special people in their lives.
