- Use a black marker to draw a big smile on your flower.
- Cut out a long strip of green paper for the stem and two leaf shapes.
- Attach the stem to the back of the paper plate using tape or glue.
- Tape or glue the leaves to the back of the plate so they stick out from the sides.

🌼 Georgie the Yellow Flower Story
Georgie was a bright yellow flower who loved his mom very, very much.
Every day, Georgie noticed all the things his mom did for him. She made him breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, and dinner at night. She washed his dishes and cleaned up when he made a mess.
Sometimes Georgie would get a little boo-boo, and his mom would gently help him feel better. She always took such good care of him.
One day, Georgie thought,
“My mom does so much for me. I love her so much!”
Then he had an idea.
It was Mother’s Day!
“I want to do something nice for my mom!” Georgie said.
So that morning, Georgie made his mom breakfast. He worked very carefully and tried his best. His mom smiled so big when she saw it.
That night, Georgie made her cookies. They weren’t perfect, but they were made with love.
Georgie gave his mom a big hug and said,
“I love you, Mom!”
His mom felt so happy inside.
Georgie learned that it’s important to show love and kindness to your mom.
And God loves it when we are kind to our moms and show them how much we care.
