Mother’s Day Craft & Poem Project

✨Looking for a Mother's Day gift idea that will make upper-grade students proud?✨ Look no further! Our easy tissue paper flower corsage and writing project is the perfect fit. Not only does it create a heartfelt gift, but it also reinforces key figurative language concepts like similes, metaphors, and alliteration. Watch as your students' excitement grows while they create beautiful poetry alongside their corsages. This project has proven to be a game-changer for students struggling with figurative language, providing both a tangible outcome and a deeper understanding of literary concepts. By the end, students will have crafted a stunning flower, a heartfelt poem, and a stronger grasp of figurative language.

​

*** Though this is intended to be a Mother's Day Activity... there is no mention of Mother's Day. This inclusive activity and gift can be used and given to any special lady in your students' lives. Examples of poems also include poems written about non-family members and Grandmas.

This Mother's Day Project has been updated to include both digital & print versions of the activities. Activities can both be completed and EDITED through Google Slides. PDF Version is included and is Easle Compatible. The update also includes an editable Mother's Day Questionnaire, differentiated versions of a foldable Mother's Day Card, and posters that could be a fun Mother's Day Coloring page. Both the card and poster allow you to automatically insert a picture of the students to add a fun personalized touch to their Mother's Day gift.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer C. says, “This was such a fun and easy activity to use! I loved that so many relatives were involved since so many of our students are being raised in nontraditional situations. It allowed all my students to feel included!"

​

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley S., 3rd-grade teacher says, “The instructions for making the flower corsages were easy to understand and they turned out well. We didn't use all of the writing pieces due to them being too high-level for my current class, but they will come in handy with next year's group.”

​

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kelly says, “I have had my students write these poems and make these flowers for Mother's Day for two years now.  They love them, I love them, and so do all the mamas!”

​

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christy., 4th-grade teacher says, “My students loved making this flower for their moms.  It was very easy to follow the directions and the students were able to add their own personal touches to the end result.  I just laid out some additional craft items.”
