1) Mother's Day Poem:
I laugh, I dance, 
I nap and play, at Miss (name). 
But home is where I love to be,
with Mommy right there next to me.
To hold and hug and kiss and say,
'I love you mom, Happy Mother's Day'.


2) Mother's Day Hand Poems:
Here are my hands to tiny and small
For you to treasure until I am tall
Do watch them as the years to by
See how we grow
My hands and I
(a slightly different variation)
Here is my hand so tiny and small,
To hang somewhere upon the wall,
To watch as the years go flying by,
How we grow my hand and I.


3) Happy Mother's Day:
I send this, Mommy,
Just to say,
I love you more
And more each day.


4) Handprint Hotpads:
Buy inexpensive, plain, light colored hotpads. Paint
childrens hands with fabric paint. Printed handprint on hotpad.


5)   For My Mother`:
Here are flowers
Bright and gay
Just for you
On Mother's Day.


6) I must have been born
Beneath a lucky star
To have a mother
As nice as you are!


7) Butterfly, go to my mother.
Whisper that I love her.


8)   For Mother's Day:
I love you, mom.
You are so fine.
On this special day
I'm glad you're mine! 


9) Butterfly Footprints:
Paint the bottom of one foot at a time, use the right foot as the left 
wing of the butterfly and then use the left foot as the right wing, 
putting the outside of the feet together to form a butterfly. After it 
dries you can let the kids glue on sparkly things, buttons, etc. to 
decorate the butterfly. Then you draw in the body in the middle and the 
antenna. It would be a cute idea to do this on paper and find a sweet 
butterfly poem to go with it then laminate for the moms. The little kids 
love to get their feet painted on- but make sure to keep a big bucket of 
water nearby for rinsing and lots of towels!
