filled with many hugs, cards, and reminders of just how awesome moms (and all
women) are. I just wanted to quickly stop by and share with you what our
1st graders made for Motherās Day. We went very simple with a
watercolor painting and a card. Next year, Iād love to add-in a Motherās Day song (most
likely from Ron Brown Intell-tunes)..but for this year, it was a perfectly
simple way to say ā āThank you!ā
We started the watercolors as a directed draw. I saw a picture on Pinterest that I really like and used that as the guide. Unfortunately, the photo was never linked, so I canāt give credit ā sorry! Our class has done several watercolors throughout the year ā turkeys, snowmen, Cat in the Hatā¦so my friends love and know the process. We always start with a pencil drawing, then sharpie, and then, watercolor. This week we added a step and mounted our paintings on black construction paper!
To accompany our watercolors we also wrote about our Mom and what we know about them. I used this Motherās Day card template, and I loved reading the kidsā response.
This sweet friend āMy Mom is good at running and washing feet.ā First graders are definitely the best!
Well friends, thatās it ā short and sweet. Have a wonderful day celebrating the women in your life!

I was low on time and money this year when Motherās Day came around. I actually wasnāt going to do anything! But I found this post through Pintrest and I just knew my kiddos could do it. I teach kindergarten so I started it as a directed draw and showed them how to make different flowers and then I let them watercolor paint it. They arenāt that great at adding black line detail, so I did that for them, and they were so beautiful I had them laminated! They were all so proud of what they had done and the momās absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing this, I think Iāll be doing it every year! (and it only took one afternoon and cost only supplies I already had!)
Yaya!!!! Iām so glad it worked well for your students. š
Watercolor paintings are such a thoughtful gift for moms. Iām sure theyāll be heardle cherished!
Crafting Motherās Day gifts with first graders is always a joy. I love seeing their creativity shine through handmade cards, painted flower pots, and simple gender reveal confetti yet heartfelt poems. These projects are not only fun but also teach the importance of expressing love and appreciation for their mothers.
I am profoundly grateful for the time and effort you have dedicated to enlightening me. I wholeheartedly commend the exceptional work you have accomplished. papaās freezeria

Motherās Day is the perfect opportunity to show appreciation and love for the special women in our lives. Whether itās through a heartfelt handmade card, a surprise breakfast in bed, or planning a fun family outing, the options for making the day memorable are endless. A thoughtful gesture could be something personalized, such as a custom piece of jewelry or a cozy afternoon with a good book. If youāre looking for ideas, mothers day gifts might inspire you with something that combines both sentiment and practicality, making her feel truly valued.
Thank you very much.
