"What You Do For Me" Mother's Day Folding Craft Stick Card Craft
Encourage your students to create a unique keepsake for Mother's Day. Children can color the designs on a printable pattern that includes a heartfelt poem:
"Mother, when I see everything you do,
I know your love for me is true.
I thank God He gave me you.
I love you through and through!"
On the back of the card, children can write down the things they appreciate about their mothers. These personalized folding craft stick cards are sure to delight mothers everywhere!
What you will need:
Ribbon or Yarn
Scissors
Uchida 530-6C Marvy Brush Tip Fluorescent Color Fabric Marker Set
(These markers are designed for fabric but work great on paper. The fluorescent colors are brighter than highlighter markers, and the tips are much softer.)
How to Make the No-Tape, Folding Craft Stick Cards:

2. Line up seven jumbo craft sticks one above the other.
3. Spread glue on the back of a pattern and lay it in the middle of the craft sticks, lining up the pattern so it fits on the craft sticks. Press the pattern onto the craft sticks starting from the middle of the paper.
4. Turn the craft sticks over and glue the second pattern to the back.
5. Let the glue dry completely. (This could take up to an hour. When the glue is completely dry, use an Exacto knife or box cutter to cut the paper. On one side, carefully cut the paper in the space between the first and second craft stick.
Do not cut all the way through to the paper on the other side. Skip the next space and cut the space between the third and fourth craft sticks. Skip the next space and the top paper between the fifth and sixth craft sticks.
6. Turn the card over and cut the paper in the space between the second and third craft sticks, the fourth and fifth, and the sixth and seventh.

7. Carefully fold up the craft sticks.
8. In class, have your children color the pictures on the poem pattern and write six things their mothers do for them that they appreciate on the second pattern. When they are finished, fold the craft sticks up and secure them with a ribbon.
