Preparing for Mother's Day

This week it was the toddler group Mother's Day service. The children are told a Mother's Day story, sing a few songs and then the children collect a small posy of daffodils to give to their Mummy.

Mother's Day is a perfect excuse for me to be creative, so here are the illustrations, gift tag and colouring sheets I put together for the event.

Illustrations

The story this year revolved around all the things that Mummy does for Teddy and so to say thank you he gave her some flowers.  I updated my previous teddy sketch to illustrate, these were then dropped into a PowerPoint and shown on a big screen, as the story was acted out.

Printable Mother's Day Gift Tag

Usually the Mother's Day flowers are couple of daffodils held together with an elastic band, but I though we could make them a little bit more special just by adding ribbon and a gift tags.
A pdf of the Mother's Day gift tag is available to download and print.

Colouring sheets

I also put together a couple of colouring sheets of Teddy and his Mother, just for fun.

Colouring sheets for the party

Inspired by suggestions from other blogs about kids parties. I put together a couple of colouring sheets for the Big 4th Birthday party.

Using the same concept as the invitations, there are Monsters and Fairies and a based on the cake a Princess colouring sheet. All three are available as pdfs to print and colour.

The colouring table was available for the whole party, for any passing colouring needs. With my empty Nutella jars holding a fresh bunch of crayons.

Teddy bear colouring sheet

Teddy on the Beach colouring sheet is available as a pdf to print.

I created my own teddy design for a toddler group Summer Celebration service sheet and Teddy Bear's picnic party. The teddy then developed into a colouring sheet.
