I understand all points of view. It would be VERY generous of you to do this. I hope they don't expect one every year. If that happens, are you ok with it? Most do not understand what goes into this craft. It could also turn into a side business for you if anyone wants to learn how to make them. I do agree however, for it to be from their child, their child should be responsible for some part of it. What that is, depends on you. I've never been a fan of lying. I couldn't send something home and say it was from _____(fill in child's name). Unless they took part in the making of it, that would not be true.
I totally agree with the hand outline on the material. One year 2 other moms and I made a rag quilt for a K teacher with all the children's hands outlined in permanent marker and their names! Why not a rag type of mug rug with the same?
I would be interested in hearing what your final decision is though. If you'd be willing to pm me, I'd appreciate it. Good luck.
