1-2-3 Come Make A Mother's Day "Craftivity" With Me.

It's hard to cram in making a Mother's Day gift when you have to cover so many standards every day, so I designed a writing prompt "craftivity" that covers writing standards and makes a sweet keepsake gift for mom. 

The horse's head is made by tracing the child's foot with their shoe on. Simply run off the rest of the templates on brown construction paper.

Students glue the pieces together to make a quick and easy "horseshoe."  I've included a little rhyme students can glue to the neck of the horse, or have older students write it themselves.

It says: "This horse's head was made by me tracing my shoe.  A keepsake for Mother's Day and an I love you."

Run off the writing prompt template: How do I love you?  Let me count the ways: Students think of at least 10 things they love about their mom, which includes the first one: I love playing and horsing around with you.

For more pizzazz add wiggle eyes and students' school picture.  Completed projects make a cute bulletin board.  Take it down and send the horses home the Friday before Mother's Day.
