Need more ideas for Mother’s Day? Here are some favorites!
Mother’s Day WATERCOLOR HEARTS
Sometimes simple is lovely! Give students thick card paper or watercolor paper. Fold in half to make a cart. Using red and pink watercolor paint, make rows of little hearts across the page.
Mother’s Day WAX RESIST ART
Give students thick card paper folded in half to decorate with a white crayon. Make a simple picture, such as hearts or flowers on the outside of the card. Next, paint using watercolors over the whole area. The white crayon should resist the paint and show the picture!
Mother’s Day JEWELRY
Use colorful beads and elastic to make mom a bracelet or necklace. Just string the elastic through and then tie the ends together. Make sure you do the knot for younger students, or you may choose thin wire or even pipe cleaners instead. This is a great time to talk about color patterns. Another recommendation is to have students work over a small bin – just incase they drop all the beads off their string!
