Mother's Day Cards

Overview: This craft was done in a special education classroom with students ranging from first to third grade. Personally, I think it is a cute idea for all elementary students. It is a great keep sake and memory holder from the little ones on Mother's Day. 

Materials: 
  1. A half a sheet of thick construction paper
  2. A sheet of white paper
  3. Paint
  4. Stickers/ Stick on mini foam flowers
  5. Glue
  6. Shape scissors
  7. A black sharpie
Steps:
  1. Trace and cut out the students hand.
  2. Paint the "hair"(fingers) the color of the student's mother's hair. 
  3. Paint the eyes and lips on.
  4. After the hand dries a little bit, glue it on the construction paper.
  5. Add the eye lashes onto the eyes with the sharpie.
  6. Stick a foam sticker on one of the fingers.
  7. Stick a couple of stickers around the card.
  8. Cut the edges with the designer scissors. 
  9. Write "Happy Mother's Day" along with the date.
  10. Have the students sign their names.
