Reading Theme Challenge ~ I Love Mommy

I Love Mommy ~ Lizi Boyd

The book for this weeks Reading Theme Challenge was A Present for Mom by Vivian French, unfortunately my library did not have this book so in honor of Mother's Day we decided to read I Love Mommy by Lizi Boyd instead.

Emily liked that a lot of the things that the Mommy and Child did in the book were the same things that we do together.

After we read the story Emily made Mother's Day Cards for her Grandmas. I asked her something that she enjoyed doing with each Grandma and included what she said inside the card. It is exciting that she is able to express herself more and more!

Grandma, I Love You a Bunch!

Emily's Finger Print Grapes

I was searching for a cute card idea for Emily to make for her Grandmas for Mother's Day and found this great one at Danielle's Place of Crafts and Activities. (Visit the site for a printable outline and complete directions.) Since Emily loves finger painting I figured we would give it a try!

Emily enjoyed dipping her fingers in the purple paint to make the grapes!!

I helped her place her fingers in the right shape so that they looked like grapes.

When we were done with the cards I let her go to town fingerprinting purple anywhere she wanted to on another piece of paper.

Emily glued on a leaf and I drew the stem.


I asked Emily something that she liked doing with each Grandma and then wrote it on the inside of each card.
