Mother's Day

I know that I'm hitting my blog pretty hard the last couple of days, but oh my its busy in my classroom, and I really want to share with all of you.  Here's a cute project my students will be working on soon to prepare for Mother's Day.

 

The clay pot is from Dollar Tree.  I used torn pieces of construction paper and glued them to the outside for color.  Then I took lima beans and turned them into rocks.  Throw large lima beans, a splash of rubbing alcohol, red, green, and yellow food coloring into a bag and shake.  Out come "rocks."  The flower petals are fingerprints, and I'll probably have my kids put a picture of themselves in the middle.
