Materials
Mother’s Day Wreath Materials
You will also need green yarn and a heart template
Red tissue paper
Scissors and glue
Steps
Firstly, draw a heart in the middle of the paper to create a heart-shaped hole instead of a circle-shaped hole in the middle of the paper plate to create a wreath.
Next, hole punch the top of the wreath and tie a yarn to create a loop that will be used to hang the wreath on the wall.
Then cut out small squares of red tissue paper for the child to use his pincer grasp to crumble and set it aside.
Have the child count as he or she glues the crumbled pieces of tissue paper on the wreath and set aside to dry.
On cardstock paper, in highlight, write the following message: “I Love You!” and have the child use his or her favorite color crayons to trace the message.
Lastly,glue the cardstock paper on the back side of the wreath and let it dry completely.
This amazing 3D effect wreath is ready to be given to someone on Mother’s Day waiting to be hung on the wall.
Modifications
Instead of writing the message, glue a picture of the child in the hole.
You can use any color tissue paper you prefer.
You can use heart foams, stickers, or pom poms, etc. to decorate the wreath.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Wreath crafts will help improve your kids fine motor skills, put a smile on their face once completed, and given to you with loving hands this Mother’s Day.
