Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed

Two years ago I created a Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed shape book for my 1st graders to give their moms. Although they took several days to put together, they turned out so stinkin' cute that I have continued the project each year since. The moms absolutely love them... and many have shed tears of joy over the sweet comments their children have included in their books.  I've been told that these treasured gifts will be kept forever!

However, because they do take prep work and are time consuming, I thought many teachers might prefer a FREE folded paper version of the booklet. So I tweaked one I created a few years back with updated graphics from my favorite artists: Nikki at MelonHeadz Illustrating and Krista Wallden.

You can grab a copy of the "quick and easy" book HERE.

If you have the time and are daring enough, you might want to check out the SHAPE  book version HERE which my students began in class today. They are very excited about this project - and I know the mom's are going to love them!

Mother's Day Gifts

What Mother doesn’t love breakfast in bed on her special day? So, I thought why not have my student create a cute breakfast-in-bed book for mom, one she could cherish forever?

Unfortunately, I got started way too late to have it ready in time for most of you for this year.  But the final product, which I am still tweaking here and there, turned out pretty darn cute. See for yourself!

Here are just a few of the sample pages.

If this looks like something you might want to use in the future or you plan on busting something out tomorrow, it is available now in my TPT store.

I included both cut and glue pattern pieces for each breakfast item, and ready to go images which I purchased from www. DigiWebStudio.com and Scrappin Doodles.com

The most important part of course is the journaling templates which students will complete and paste on the back of each part of their Mom's breakfast book -  recalling special memories and the things they love and appreciate most about their moms. 

After all the books are completed, I simply punched holes and tied together with pretty ribbon and a tea bag. 

I am also encouraging my students to deliver it on a plate or tray with a flower from their yard Mother’s Day morning. This is one gift Mom is sure to love!
