What would we do without moms? Aren’t they the greatest gifts on Earth! Well, it’s that time to start thinking of fun thoughtful gifts to create to give to mom on her big day May 14!
Supplies needed:
- Blue and yellow construction paper
- Yellow finger-paint
- Black marker
- Yellow ribbon or premade bow
- Hot glue gun (optional if you get premade bows)
Instructions:
Grab your blue construction paper and trace a mason jar on the paper. Then go ahead and cut it out.
Once the shape of the mason jar has been cut out, using a black marker you can trace the outside of the jar as well as create the lines that a lid would screw onto.
Next grab your yellow ribbon and create a bow. Depending on what type of ribbon you have you can hot glue it on or you can find a premade bow that just stick on.
Grab a yellow piece of construction paper and cut out an oval shape to be glued on to the bottom of the jar, later the children will add a personalized message to their Mom.
Paint the children’s finger and have them decorate the inside of the mason jar creating the light that the lightening bugs give off.
Once the paint has dried take the black marker and depending on the age of the child, have them make a bug shape in the center of the fingerprint and if they are too young to do this step go ahead and draw the bugs yourself.
Next it’s time to help them write the personalized message to their mom (we have two options to choose from)
- Mom, you light up my life!
- Mom, You light up my world!
Just like that you have a super cute keepsake to remind Mom how important she is to you!
