This post continues our series on Mothers Day Crafts!  This one is really fun because it is really fun for preschool and kindergarten kids to grow their own plant then grow it for mom as a gift!  This fits very nicely into a lesson on how plants grow, since you will be using the Avocado pit to grow a new plant!

Supplies:

• Avocado
• 4 Toothpicks
• Glass
• Water

Steps:

1. Cut the Avocado and use a spoon to get the pit out
2. Place four sticks around the avocado pit, about 1/3 down from the top
3. Set the avocado pit in a glass of water so the bottom 2/3′s is in the water
4. Set it in a sunny area (but not all sun)  and watch as the roots begin to form!  It will take about 3-4 weeks for the roots and stem to form.  When the roots are  a couple of inches long and the stem is about an inch it can be planted.

Once your Avocado has rooted you can plant it in a pot and it is a great gift for mom for mothers day!

It’s hard to believe but before we know it mother’s day will be here!!  So I thought it would be fun to post some Mothers Day Crafts in preparation.  Kids love to make something special for their mom’s and I know I love to get homemade gifts from my kids.

Supplies:

• Square crepe paper (3 per flower)
• Green Pipecleaner (1 per flower)
• Vase or small Glass

Steps:

1. Layer 3 papers as seen below
2. Fold in half then fold again so it’s a triangle
3. Twist the green pipecleaner around the bottom of the flower
4. Twist the bottom of the pipecleaner to make leaves
5. Make a few and place in a vase

This Easter Craft can be a fun decoration for the holiday and springtime.  This is really simple and you probably have all the supplies already in your house.  Always a feature I love!!

Supplies:

• Cardboard
• Hole Puncher
• Glue

5. Randomly glue various heart sizes in a collage on the cardboard heart
6. Hole punch two holes for the ribbon (one on each side of the cardboard heart)
