This is for MOM / MUM or a generic banner students can use for a gift for Grandma, Aunt, etc. These MOM Banners are a great Mother's Day craft that your students will love to create and the Mom's will love to receive. I made sure to create a template that is generic for students who want to create for a female other than Mom. There are 7 banner options to choose from. I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these banners. I have also provided a template for students to write a message to a loved one. All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue. You need to have 1 1/2" ribbon for each student and a hoop to hang the banner. I buy bracelets at the dollar store. They come 4 or more in a pack for $1. And, they are large enough to fit around most door knobs so MOM can hang her banner on her office door. You do need to cut squares (4 x 4) ahead of time for students or bring the heavy cardstock to class and have your students cut those squares. All other templates are included in the package, all you have to do is photocopy. Note: I think this is a great craft for most / all grade levels. The one you see in the preview is the one my nephew (grade 4) made for his 48 year old mom. She loved it!!!

Two really simple Easter crafts! Included are two crafts that the students will color, cut and then glue together! They are two great Easter keepsakes.

Made from regular photocopy paper (8 1/2 x 14), all students require are coloring pencils, scissors and glue (glue sticks recommended). Included are two versions of each craft - a smaller and a larger version. You decide which version will work best with your students. Suggestion: You can try using cardstock instead of regular paper for a sturdier finished product. As well, I bring in colored straw and a treat for the inside of the boxes! Students love this!!!! Enjoy and Happy Easter
