Games/Activities

Dominos
Hold a Mother's Day Tea
Have Muffins for Mom's
I copy an outline of a tea pot onto cardstock/
construction paper. I have the kids cut out the teapot and attach
a tea bag and a magnet on the back.
I put this poem on the teapot:
Here's a gift for Mother's Day.
I'll do my best in every way.
But when you get upset with me,
relax and have a cup of tea.
With love, (child's name).
