We needed something that was good for a wide age range of children (Toddler to age 8). We also wanted something that the kids could present to their moms when they come in at the end of the service on Mother's Day.
I came across this image about 'Good Roots' and that is what started the idea:
It is basically a foam flower (you can get them in a 20 pack at Michales Craft Store) that the kids can decorate with markers, stickers etc. Then you simply tape a wooden skewer to the back of the flower and then wrap a green pipe cleaner around it to make the stem. Then I created a tag that is to be tied to the stem with green ribbon (making the leaves).The tag includes a scripture verse with a play on words: "Train up a child in the way they should "GROW", and they will not depart from it." Prov 22:6.
As well as the "Thanks for the good ROOTS Mom!" concept.
Here is the tag - feel free to copy it and print it for use if you wish to make this craft:
And here is how the final product will look:
What a wonderful post! I've been looking for some creative and fun mothers day activities for kids and this just gave me some ideas. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great idea. I work in the nursery with toddlers from 18mo-3 and finding crafts that can work with all of them is tricky.
ReplyDeleteI love this but I can't seem to get it to copy in a way that I can print it without it taking up a whole page and cutting off the bottom of the tag. Suggestions? Please help! I want to make this for my Sunday School class in the morning. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I realized my issue was not saving the image to iPhoto on my Mac. I got it to work. Thanks!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing, I too have been looking for a meaningful craft and this is perfect! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful idea! We have a few children in Sunday School who don't have a mom in their lives, so I "tweeked" it a bit, removing the word "Mom," and I will encourage them to write in the name of woman (aunt, sister, older friend, etc.) who is special in their lives. This way they don't feel left out.
ReplyDelete18th birthday gift ideas ought to be fun, but should be something which the 18 year old will remember for many years to come, and preferably something which will help boost her or him into their new adult life. Source to know about Sokisahtel.
