Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is celebrated each year in the U.S. on the second Sunday in May. This year that is May 13. It is always a nice gesture to do something for your host mom. You could help the children make a surprise for her or give her a card yourself. Any gesture is appreciated. Don’t forget to send a special message to your own mom back home. Without her love and support, you wouldn’t be here today.

Make some pretty flowers for Mother’s Day!
What you’ll need:
- Construction paper
- Acrylic paint
- Green chenille stems
- Scissors
- White craft glue
How to make it:
- Cut out simple flower shapes from construction paper.
- Dip child’s finger into acrylic paint and dab off excess, then press onto each petal. Dab a contrasting color into the center of the flower.
- Cut chenille stem in half.
- Glue chenille stem to the back of the flower.
- Display your pretty flowers in our Sunshine Flower Pot.
Tips:
- While this is a simple craft, if you are working with smaller children you may want to cut out the flower shapes ahead of time.
- If you don’t have chenille sticks you can substitute with craft sticks or straws.
- You can use plain white paper and colorful paints if you don’t have construction paper.
