March (week 8) - Mother's Day Cards

Making a Mother's Day card is a lovely gesture and with it only taking a few minutes for both the prep and creation - its a win win!

The finished Mother's Day Cards

Here is what you will need to create your Mother's Day card:
/ Blank greetings cards (or a sheet of card that you can fold in half)
/ Felp tip pen
/ Glue
/ Glitter (girlie colours)
/ Sequins
/ Stick on hearts
/ Paints & brushes
/ Craft pompoms

Mother's Day Card prep

 

Follow these simple steps to make your toddler art and craft Mother's Day card:
/ Draw a large heart on the front of the card with the felt tip pen.
/ I think that a nice touch is to write the name of the person that you are giving the card to below the heart (such as mummy, nannie, granny, grandma).
/ Decorate the heart and the card to your toddlers content
            - use sequins to outline the heart then use glitter or paint to fill in the middle of the heart
            - use the stick on hearts to create a pattern
            - paint the heart and then decorate with pompoms
            - another nice idea is to put a hand print on the inside or on the back of the card.

Top tip: write your message in the card before decorating it, that way you will have a finished card that will just need to dry and no awkward writing with pompoms getting in the way!
