Moms....Would you like this?  

Those potholders are really cute. I once got a mothers day card from my son that was made in daycare. He had a little poem on it as well as his handprint.

Handprints
There are always so many of my fingerprints to see,
On the furniture and walls from sticky, grubby me,
But if you stop and think a while,
You'll see I'm growing fast,
Those little handprints will disappear,
You can't bring back the past.
So here's a small reminder,
To keep not throw away,
Of how those tiny hands once looked,
To make you smile one day.

or I also have this one in which my daughter brought home from school.


Handprints

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my handprint
On furniture and wall

But everyday I'm growing
(I'll be all grown someday)
And all those tiny hand prints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When they were very small.

I always thought that it was so cute when my children brought this kind of stuff home to me. I cherish each one that I get. Happy Mothers Day!!

Those are great. All your moms will love them:)

hey, anything home-made by the kiddles is a great present. these look really cute, great idea!

I would LOVE it if I got a pot holder like that from my daughter. they are so adorable. I think in general Moms love antyhing hand made from their children and really don't mind if there was some help from another adult.

I think you are doing a wonderfuly job allowing the kids to do what they can. Decorating their own wrapping paper is a great idea.

These look wonderful! Thank you for sharing your idea with us. I also do inhome daycare (just started up last fall) and also teach 3-5 year olds at our church. We are always looking for new and different craft ideas.

Those are really cute. I love homemade gifts. Almost my entire Christmas tree is decorated with homemade ornaments from the kids. It may not look "expensive and neat" but it means so much to me. I keep them all safe in a shoe box to use each year. I know that one day, when they are all grown up, I'll be decorating the tree (crying probably, I'm such a baby) remembering each and every one !!

This is another Excellent idea, I am going to try this with the little boy I babysit for his mommy for Mother's day =) Thank you so much for the Perfect easy to do thoughtful gift

yes, those are darling keepsakes. a treasure to remember just how small those hands were, when..... I would have liked to receive such a gift from my children. I would think the children's mothers will very much like these thoughtful gifts and the time you took to help the child create it.

AWW! The pot holders are really cute. I would be happy if my kids made hand potholders. I love kids handprints and footprints I think it is so special.I wis my kids went to your daycare.

OH!! Those are so sweet!! If I had babies I would have loved a gift like that!
You are a great daycare teacher/lady. Don't know what the correct term might be LOL.
I bet those where a huge hit!
