Mother's Day ideas:

1. Find a cool rock. Paint it your mom's favourite colour. Maybe make a design on it! Add a card to go with it. On the front of the card write: MOM, YOU ROCK! Write a nice message inside. Be creative! Use lots of colours!

2. On a piece of stiff paper/cardboard draw/colour some stems and leaves. Cut up an egg carton. Colour/paint each holder and glue a button inside- these are the flowers. Glue as many on as you want. Add words if you want. A special bouquet for a special lady!

3. Create an acrostic poem to give to someone special for Mothers’ Day.

To create an acrostic poem, follow these six easy steps:

1. Decide what to write about.

2. Write your word down vertically. MOTHER/GRAMMY/NANA.....

3. Brainstorm words or phrases that describe your mother /grandmother.....

4. Place your brainstormed words or phrases on the lines that begin with the same letters.

5. Fill in the rest of the lines to create a poem. It does not have to rhyme!

6. Add a picture! Roll it up, and tie with yarn! :)
