Mothers Day Activities and Mothers Day Ideas and Suggestions
As moms planning Mothers Day activities is not really on the top of our list. At least it is not on mine. I much rather have someone else take the lead and allow me to enjoy the day.
Luckily, most children come home with a prepared gift from school that warms up our hearts more than anything you can buy at a store.
Now, if your child is at home with you, direct your hubby or a friend to this page for some Mother's Day ideas. If you are a teacher, hope you will find these Mother's Day lesson plans handy.
Here is our early childhood lesson plans for Mother's Day:
Big ideas, concepts and values:
1. One of the Ten Commandments is: Honour Your Father and Mother.
2. On Mother's Day we celebrate an important person in our lives.
Essential Questions:
1. How do we honour our mother and father?
2. Why do we need and want to respect our parents?
3. What makes your mom special to you?
In Class Activities:
Portrait - Ask the child to draw a portrait of their mom and frame it.
Short Story - Interview each child individually about their moms. Do not lead them to specific answers rather talk less and allow them to share their thoughts.
Hugging Hands
This is one of my favorite activities. It is simple and adorable.
Materials:
Flower Pot:
A few weeks before Mother's Day each child plants herb seeds in a small pot. (They can decorate the pot).
Add a paper flower (or made out of foam) to the pot with a picture of the child in the center.
Write on the flower: "Mom's love helps kids grow."
