Mother’s Day Craft: Bloomin’ Bookmarks
Read aloud Proverbs 23:25. “May your father and mother rejoice. May she who gave you birth be joyful!”
Give each child a ribbon. Have kids form pairs so one child can hold a ribbon taut while the other writes. Invite partners to take turns writing “Proverbs 23:25”, starting about ½-inch from one end of the ribbon.
Say: God chose your mom just for you!
Leave some space after “Proverbs 23:25.” Then write, “I thank God for you because _________________.” Leave a ½-inch space from the other end of the ribbon. (Let younger kids write only the fill-in-the-blank part. For example, “You take care of me.”)
Say: Moms help us bloom like flowers. Let kids each share one way their mom or an important woman in their life has helped them learn or grow.
Note: Be aware that some children might be adopted. Or grandparents might be raising some children.
