Mother´s Day Poems

To Mum

A Recipe for a Very Dear Mother:
Take a cup of thoughtfulness
And add a lot of love,
Blend with smiles as warming
As the sunshine from above,
Add a cheerful spirit
And, of course, a heart that sings
And also the ability
To laugh at little things,
Stir in lots of tenderness
And understanding, too
And there you have the recipe
For mothers dear as you.

"A Mother is like a flower
On a sunny summer day.
You'd pick her in a minute
If you could have your way.

A Mother is like the sunshine;
She warms your heart each day
And makes you feel like smiling.
It's just her special way."

*

"I had a mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy's heart brings -
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh that each mother of boys were such!

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be -
I had a mother who read to me."
Strickland Gillilan

Mother's Day Craft

Lolly Stick Window Box

This pretty lolly stick window box is a quick kids craft for younger children which makes a delightful gift for them to make for Mother's Day, Grandparent's Day or other occasions. As a glue gun is used, an adult's help will be required.

You will need:

8 craft sticks in bright colours
2 green craft sticks
Glue gun (ask an adult to help)
Craft foam
Pompoms

Instructions:

Glue three of the sticks side by side to make a ‘rectangle’. Repeat with another three sticks.
Glue a stick along one edge of a ‘rectangle’ at right angles to the others. Repeat with the other ‘rectangle’.
Glue the two pieces together with the green sticks standing upright in between. You might need a second person's help with this step because it can be a bit fiddly!
Cut flower shapes from craft foam and glue on to the green sticks. Glue on a pompom to the middle of each flower.
