We love our moms and appreciate all that they do for us.  Moms lead busy lives!  They are cooks, nurses, housekeepers, personal organizers, custodians, teachers, chauffeurs, counselors, pet sitters,… the list goes on and on and they may even work outside the home!

On Mother’s Day, we have an opportunity to honor and celebrate mom.  Here’s a simple, inexpensive gift activity that young children can handle.  Create “Glitter Clips” to help mom hold all of her important papers or to use as a page marker for her favourite book.  You will need,

• wooden clothes pegs- large or small sized   

• children’s thick, white, craft glue

• a paint brush

• glitter

• a paper plate to hold the glitter

Have the children paint the clothes peg with glue.  Place the clothes peg into the glitter. Dip it to cover.

Let dry.*

* Here’s a tip- stand the clip or clip it to a suspended string to dry.

Clip the peg to a handmade card.
