Moms and Mother's Day

Moms and Mother's Day

 

TALK:  I chose moms because they are an important person in their life everyday. 
You can ask if they know what letter the word mom starts with? 
Also Sunday May 13 is Mother's Day!

Five Pretty Mommies…
Tune of Five Little Ducks
Five pretty mommies I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, too,
But the one in the middle that belongs to me…
I love her and she loves me!
Down to the grocery we did go,
Wibble – wobble, wibble – wobble, to and fro,
But the one in the middle that belongs to me,
I love her and she loves me! Credit: Nuttin But Preschool

Materials Needed: Finger paint paper; finger paint. This is a cute mothers day activities theme idea!
Have the children dip their hands in finger paint and then press their hands side by side (with both thumbs next to each other) and press down. Remove paper to dry...let them continue free style finger painting!
When their hand prints are dry, add this poem to the picture: (Adapted from a poem written by Elaine Magud)
This isn't just a butterfly
As you can plainly see.
I made it with my hands
Which are a part of me.
It comes with lots of love
Especially to say
I hope you have a very, very
Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day printables

Fingerprint Bee Mother's Day Card
 
Mothers Day Bouquet
Materials: Coffee Filters, markers, eye droppers, water, pipe cleaners
The children color filters (several of them) and then drop water on them. This makes the colors spread...they look great!
Fold the filters in thirds or fourths to make a flower shape. Pinch bottom and secure with a piece of pipe cleaner which also acts as the stem.
The children will LOVE making this bouquet! Credit Preschool Plan It
