WE do this every year - what with mothers day be with out great times like these . . . . . Then in the afternoon we all head for grandma's house where we all hug some more and then we usually soit around telling stories . . . he he he

Great Article . . .Cheers Kellz

I have just taken over the school age care room in the afternoons starting from yesterday so I've had to go from Toddler Time thinking to Schoolies Suggestions.  I have bought chocolate moulds in big teddy shapes, the children are making teddies with plaster of paris every day next week and painting them.  We also have little flower chocolate moulds that we are going to make chocolates with.They're really sweet, and we are leaving this one for a couple of weeks, doing it the same week we make the cup cakes. The children get to decorate the cakes themselves as well as helping with the making of the cakes - from scratch! We are using marshmallows and smarties to make flowers on the top of the cakes, or they can use their own ideas. This week they are handing me a list of what ingredients they think I will need for them to decorate the top of them so that should be interesting. I have told them I can't buy everything since I have to supply it myself, but I'll do my best. It is very affordable and very personal too.  They are creating their own cards using the cardboard I supply as well as what ever they want to use - paints, prints, collage, drawings, whatever they want to do to make it as personal as possible. I am encouraging them to write a phrase they want to put in it, then I'll print it out on the computer for them to stick in their card.  Just ome more ideas for the older children. Enjoy Mothers Day everyone :)

I get really annoyed with the commercialism of everything these days. My big kids when they went through primary school, always had the Mothers Day Craft stall at the school. So they got to choose pressies from there. Never mind that I was part of the craft group, it was still there choice. But the best pressie I have gotten the last couple of years - ABSOLUTELY no fighting, screaming or general arguing on Mothers Day. Leisa

yes i agree  with you its become big money for the shops , I like getting things that the kids made for  me at school or the mother gifes at the school as the kids have no one to tell them that  whats mum wants, its all there own idea on what they want to give you . I always said to my kids when they got old  er that all i want for mothers day is a hug and   kisses  and thats all i need

great ideas, and i''ve always told my children that i would prefer gifts that they can be helped by a teacher/carer that is made by them is more special then a shop bought.. Also we sometimes in my household have my bday on the same day, so i always tell them to make me one special gift.. Hubby always organises a bbq or roast and has all the family around and us mums dont lift a finger, the guys and the kids do all the work...

I agree, Mothers Day has become too commericial. The things you do with your kids are the best way to celebrate it. My daughter's only 20mths old, so I'm sure our special thing will be for me to help her make something at playgroup to celebrate Mothers Day.
