Mother’s Day Medallion Flowers
Isa 66:13: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I
comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem."
- Paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Crayons or markers
- Craft stick or bamboo skewers
You can use
colored paper or if you have time use white paper and let the children
color. From one sheet of paper, cut as
many 2 inch circles as you need. It
takes two circles for each medallion. Have the children draw a picture of the
person that will receive the medallion on one circle. On the other circle write the words, ‘Jesus
and I love you.’
Take another
sheet of paper and fold it in half the long way. Fold it in half the long way again so you
have four long sections. Cut the paper
apart along the folds. One sheet makes
four medallions. For each medallion,
make accordion folds in one strip. Cut
half inch slits along the edge in the crease of each fold. Bring the short ends together and glue the
edges. Gently flatten the
medallion. This took some practice, but
you will get it. Using plenty of glue,
stick one circle in the center of the medallion on one side. Hold it down a few seconds to be sure it
sticks well. Turn the medallion
over. Depending on the age of the child,
layer a craft stick or a bamboo skewer between the medallion and the other
circle. Once again use plenty of
glue.
Tell the
children to give the medallion to their mother or a woman they love with a big
hug.
Optional: Fold the fringed edge back and forth to make
it more three dimensional. Use craft
foam for the circles. Add a little
glitter to make it sparkle. Add a two inch circle punch to your wish list.
