This special person writing activity and craft allows students to create a meaningful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or Grandparent's Day. This simple craft and writing project is sure to delight the special person in the child's life.

How to Make:

To create the writing aspect of this activity, students will use the brainstorming ideas page to write down reasons they love their special person or when they do something the child loves. The student then gets to choose some of their best ideas to write on their heart craft. After writing their sentences, students can decorate their parent gift any way they choose. Students may choose to cut out their craft and glue it to some colored construction paper or card stock.

This packet includes several variations for different things a child may call their special person. There is also a blank craft for the student to write their special name.

The following are included in this packet:

• mom
• mum
• mommy
• mother
• dad
• father
• daddy
• grandma
• grandmother
• grandpa
• grandfather

This craft and writing activity are very easy to set up. Students simply need their craft template, a brainstorming ideas page, a writing utensil for the writing section, and crayons, markers, or colored pencils to decorate their craft. Scissors and glue are only needed if the child wishes to mount their craft to colored card stock or construction paper.

Introducing the perfect gift for Mother's Day!

The Mother's Day inclusive memory book. This resource is designed for all caregivers, including 39 templates for grandmothers, aunts, stepmoms, and more. It also includes both male and female pronouns, as well as a nameless template, it's like getting 5 memory books in one!

There are illustrations to color which are surrounded by dotted lines to make cutting easier. There are also interactive flaps for writing the beginning, middle and ending as well as places to write about the characters, setting and summary. This storyboard can be used as a companion activity for The Gingerbread Man.
