Mother's Day is May 11th. Don't forget your mom! Here's a cute idea for a Mother's Day card that kids can make for mom. Or, it could be adapted nicely for Grandma (or even daddy for that matter- his day is 6-15). I found this crafty idea on Hot Chalk. If you don't have a membership you can sign up for free. They have lots of great lesson plan ideas for various subjects and ages. Check it out.
Some of my other favorite gifts for mom can be found at Red Envelope.

Seeds of Love Poem:
These seeds are here for me and you,
And Mommy, here's what we can do:
Together we'll look until we've found
A spot to plant them in the ground.
With rain and sunshine, don't you know,
Our flowers, like our love, will grow.
A precious reminder our flowers will be
That I love Mommy and she loves me!
