Easter has come and gone and Mother’s Day is quickly approaching.  With only 5 weeks away I normally start doing my brainstorming, since I love to have my class make something special for their moms as well.  I normally spend time brainstorming and creating projects to ensure that 7 and 8 year old children not only enjoy making but take pride in making something special for their moms.  I’ve come up with some ideas, but due to time constraints I will be sharing a couple of ideas.  The first is diy flowers.  After all, all mother’s love flowers and why not show them love with some diy Mother’s Day flowers that they will cherish forever.

This project took no more than about an hour to make.  Below are all the supplies used to make the project.

Supplies Used: I used a Styrofoam ball cut in half and glued them onto the lid that I made for the popcorn box.  I then cut petals out of  designer series paper and used pushpins to pock them into the Styrofoam ball.  The card stock was 12″X12″.
