Gifts
from Barbara
-Draw a picture for your mother.
-Write your own poem and illustrate it for your mother.
-Do something for your mother without her asking you to do it.
Flower Gift:
Take a flower pattern (or draw a flower yourself) onto construction
paper or thick paper. Color it. Tape a craft stick, chop
stick, or straw (you can staple it) onto the back of the flower for the
stem. Cut off a picture of yourself (to be round). (Make sure to ask
permission do to it from your father if you are doing it at
home.) Tie ribbon or yarn around them and give your mother
(grandmother) as a bunch of flowers from her children (grandchildren)
or give her one if you want. You can place a piece of magnet
strip on the back and it can also be placed on the refrigerator so
everyone can see it.
Flower Patterns: flower pattern @ activityvillage, DLTK's Daisies (You can use the smiling daisy and fold it over for a double sided flower. Place the craft stick, chop stick, or straw in between the two daisies. Tape it together.)

From Andrea in my fhe4children group
Growing up, we always did something special for mother's day, father's
day, and the Sunday of a family member's birthday. We gathered
together photos of them and had them sit in the center of the room with
a display all about them. Then we spent the family home evening
focusing on them. We would play games to see who knew them the
best (such as trivia questions). It was always really fun to
learn new facts about people we thought we knew inside and out!
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account
was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but
the world may be different because I was important in the life of a
child."
