Mother’s Day: Sunday the 8th of May 2011

{click picture for printer ready PDF file}

I appreciate anything and everything my children give me. However, I have to say I’m partial to homemade cards where the kids have had a hand in the making process.

If you (or Dad) are stuck for Mother’s Day Card or activity, this simple card is ready to print and fold. Click the front cover above for the PDF file.

Mother’s Day is a day of mixed emotions for me. I love celebrating the blessings of motherhood with my children but my own mother isn’t with me anymore. I always miss her but it’s even more obvious on days like this.  I would love to give my mum a hug this Mother’s Day and say, “I love you so much Mum. Thank you for being my mother.” So, if you can, make sure you do! Don’t miss an opportunity!

Mother’s Day Card Option 1:

Print the Mum and Me Card template and fold in half. Using photographs, cut out the heads of the “Mum” and the “Me” and stick them in the circles.

Mother’s Day Card Option 2:

Print the Mum and Me Card template and fold in half.  Allow child to colour faces in the spaces provided.

Mother’s Day Card Option 3:

Print the Mum and Me Card template and fold in half. Then follow these instructions:

1. Cut the blue circle in the centre of the flower.

2. Glue photographs of mother and child in the correct position on the inside the card so they correlate with the cut out circle holes.

3.  The card opens to reveal the surprise!

Happy Mother’s Day
