Happy Mother's Day!

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, so we are celebrating all of the wonderful Cottage moms all week long! Here are a few activities to try at home!

The Kissing Hand
This sweet story about a mother raccoon and her baby will warm your heart! Watch and then read one of your favorite stories together!

Mother’s Day Questionnaire
Just for fun, ask your child to answer these questions about mom! It’s always fun to see what little ones come up with! Keep these answers to reread and laugh about years from now! For a printable version, click here - All about My Mom.

Muffins for Mom

Handprint Bouquet
Using paint, help your child make several handprints of different colors. Once dry, allow your child to cut out each handprint. On each handprint, ask your child to write (or help him/her write) one thing he/she loves about mom. To create stems for your handprint flowers, glue or tape a straw, popsicle stick, or strip of cardboard to each handprint. Tie the handprint flowers together with a string and deliver your beautiful bouquet to mom on Mother’s Day!
