I would think of something that the kids could make, maybe decorate the mug rug......As a mom/gramma, I'd much rather have something my kids/grandkids made than made by the teacher or an aide. Although I bet your mug rugs were super !

I like the handprint idea, with the name and date written by the children. Kids Love to make their own gifts, and it's a good tradition to teach children.

I am a kdg teacher and I have to agree with many of the previous posters...i would never ask my para to make something for the kids to give their moms! Last week (as part of our plants theme) my kids planted flower seeds. By Mother's Day, they should be blooming. We will help tie a ribbon around the cup and make a cute tulip card made from a handprint.

What is wrong with letting kids scribble? If they are not motivated to put effort into a picture for their mom OR if they are not artistically inclined, then a few well-placed scribbles may just have to do. Maybe it's the child's forray into zentangles? lol
I would let the kids do the artwork on a preset size and go with that....but 62? Not sure that a case of wine will be enough. |
I would go with the coloring, since it is kid work. We know many kids are less that artistic. They could be 'encouraged" to outline their hands and fill in that space. alternately, precut fused hearts of various sizes and colors. have the kids glue them in place. Of course, then you have to machine applique them down. UGH

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.

Even if she says she will pay for your time be sure she understands just how much time is involved!
|
Why not supply the kids with fabric crayons and muslin squares and "Birth" them together???
|
I agree with. Other let the kids do the art on white fabric and sew around the edges. It should be their work.
