child made mothering sunday gifts

[cazzybabs]

I have a week, a year 3 play and an OU eassy. I NEED YOUR HELP. 12 year 3s (7-8 years old) - what can they make for a mothers day gift to take home to mummy. Am painting daffs to make a card...but need pressie help!!!

bulbs or somehing like nasturtium seeds planted in a painted pot?
or cress planted in a painted eggshell head (cheaper!)?

well my guides have just done a lovely job of painting flower pots. the pots weren't huge - 20p each so not too dear either.

did painted tissue boxes last year.

sweets? - peppermint creams/ marzipan fruits?

daffs out of egg boxes & green pipe cleaners

depends how long you want it to take them!

Bogwoppit - you have just made me so happy! Well done!

hi

i just got the children i mind to glass paint emty jam jars and am going to put a candle in them.

My brownies have just made medals out of chocolate coins. You can glue them onto a ribbon to hang around mum's neck. However I made templates of 'war' medals which they glued a little piece of stripey (wrapping) paper, glued the coin at the bottom and glued a little strip of tinfoil along the top. They could then write a greeting on the back of the medal.

I echo the pots idea. I got a couple of pots form garden centre and my 2 DD's painted them, I then painted over them with a matt varnish and stuck in a 99p plant - I'm sure the grannies will love @em!!

When is UK Mothers Day... please don't think I'm totally barmy, but I live overseas and seems all other nations celebrate the American one in May... but both Grannys are in the UK so want to send cards... if it's not already too late

It's Sunday, sis (21st).

Could you quickly order some flowers via the internet?

sjs, sorry!

Interflora site - says it can deliver on Sunday (for an extra £3) if you order today or tomorrow. Not cheap though!

Oh girls you are so helpful - today we painted cards and used handprints to make flowers from the website that someone recommended ont he easter gifts site (which I am about to use for easter gift ideas with my children).

really want to do the painting flowerpots - must be more organsised next year!
