Oh boy, this is not a good idea in my humble opinion. As a Mom, a Grammy and a teacher, I wanted little gifts my kids had made.

So go with the muslin idea...they can draw on it with markers or crayons (put newsprint over the crayon and iron to set the crayon). OR...go to Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Target, Ikea, the $ store and pick up cheap undecorated wooden frames for a buck apiece and let the kid draw of picture of Mom for inside the frame and write with markers "I love you" around the frame. This should be the KID'S work, not YOURS. Your teacher is way out of line to ask you to do such a thing. I know where she's coming from...parents request the teacher that produces nice "gifts" and stuff, but it will end up biting her in the backside. Ask me how I know.
Would someone show me the law that prevents a school owner from give the moms of student a gift from her? Please read the post for what it is. Not what it isn't. |

Also, I don't really have a problem with the teachers helping, but again, personally, I would rather see teachers teaching.
Again, I'd like for someone to point out in the Mother's Day Guidelines, where it says only children are allowed to give mothers gifts. Our church gives all moms a potted plant for Mother's Day. I've never yet heard one single mother object to receiving a flower paid by church funds. |

I agree with Deedum. That is a lot to ask of someone. Most parents would rather have a piece of paper if their child made it than something someone else made to give them.

Ohhh, I so agree! Either that or she wears a Size One hat! Mothers appreciate and hold dear anything their children make themselves.

really??? What are you talking about?? This isn't a grade or reward for them, it is helping them to make something for their moms. If you read carefully you will note that i implied to let them do it with help where needed. I am not an advocate of rewarding where it is not earned and why you want to make this an argument about that is anybodies guess??
The woman asked for ideas not all this other nonsense! what "be a quilter" said! |
What a job.......however, I was thinking.......have help like the boss, have white or muslin fabric..............paint hand of each child...........imprint onto the fabric.........personalized. I would assemble the rugs first and put child's name with a pigma pen on the back.......taa data done.......calla

Thanks for the clarification on post #89. That clarification helped me see the project as involving the kids and doable. This sure has opened discussion and interesting viewpoints. Good luck and if time permits, it would be really nice to see a few pics of the kids and the mug rugs. Have fun with it.

You could make them with a plain muslin back and have the students sign or colour them with markers.
