Something that my kids do for me is the chores. Especially

when they do them without asking. Ex. Clean your room, unload the dishwasher, vacuum, dust, sweep mop. When your mom goes to work you could go to work on the house. She would love to see it clean. You could email her a card...or make it at home. State on there that it is her day to relax...and let her know the chores that you did.

Make a certificate to give her. It can state what you want to do with her. It can be as simple as a picnic in the park. You can get the food ready and go with her. I enjoy the time that my children give me.

Art Activities my children have done. Making a bracelet from beads, life size card by tracing around their body, a poster, making a cookie into a heart, or a cake can also hit the spot, and scavanger hunts around the house to find each cookie.

I have made poems before.One of the easiest and quickest ways to write a poem is using a format called an acrostic. An acrostic poem is where every line starts with a letter of a word that is displayed vertically. This was one I did for my husband:



In case you were in doubt that my



Love is not true, remember this

Only you can make me feel

Vulnerably, completely and

Entirely in love with



You

Only and always

Unconditionally you



I found the poem when I was researching ideas for me. You can google free gift ideas and you will find a bunch more that you can use that will work for your mom. Have fun

It sounds like your Mom really means a lot to you. Why don't you show her how much she mean by making her a card that shows how much you really appreciate her. Do it with true feeling. Fill it with reasons why you respect her, or times that she has done things for you that took time out of her schedule to help you out or did something special for you. Maybe happy or special memories. Or times when she was there when you needed her. Thank her for the everyday things she does for you. You know those type of thing really mean a lot to a Mother. It is something that comes from you that is more than any present you could buy her!! Most of all let her know how much she means to you. That's is the kind of gift that a mom will hold onto forever. Because you took the time out to do it yourself. Happy Birthday to your MOM!!!

I once made my mama a flower boquet out of tissue paper and she loved it!









Making Flowers



Materials



facial tissue

thread

scissors



Instructions:



Pick one tissue and fold it back and forth. It should be like a paper fan or and accordion fold.

For smaller flowers, cut the folded tissue into two pieces each about 4 inches long. Put the two pieces on top of each other.

Use a piece of thread and tie it tightly in the middle.

Separate the layers of the tissue and fluff it into a flower shape.

Ideas and Hints



If you only have single ply facial tissue, stack two or three tissues on top of each other before starting step one.

Use colored tissue to make colorful flowers.

Use water color paint to create the coloring shown in the pictures. The coloring should be very watery to get the blending shown in the picture by the instructions. Use a paint brush to dab the paint on the edge of the tissue and let the water absorb to spread the color along the petals.

Use thicker paint to get the more defined colors shown in the picture below. Use a paint and dab the paint where you want it.

If you don't have watercolor paint, try food coloring. Be careful as it could stain counters or work surfaces.

Use glitter glue to add some sparkle to the flowers

A coupon book of chores you're willing to do or grab a clear vase put some stones at the bottom (regular ones or colored ones) and stick a flower at the bottom or put a candle in it, fill vase with water just below the wick.
