Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Hi! Tried a search but got an error message saying 'day' was too short a word and I couldn't think of another, longer way to say Mother's 'day' so came here instead We have children from 2 - 5 years and I'm looking for a simple song we could teach them as we are planning to invite the mums in at the end of one of the sessions. Also any tried and tested easy activities, cards etc would be great. We've done loads of different things in the past and I'd love to try something new. Thanks!
AnonyMouse_10713 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Hi LJW How about this: Sung to: "Twinkle, Twinkle" Sometimes Mum says "don't do this" Sometimes Mum says "don't do that" Still she loves me that I know. Why? Because she tells me so. Sometimes Mum says let's do this. Sometimes Mum says "kiss, kiss, kiss!" Shiny
AnonyMouse_2846 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 ours love If you love your mummy give her a kiss '' '' '' '' ' ''''''''''''''' if you love your mummy if you love your mummy if you love your mummy give her a kiss If you love your give her a hug shout I do they love all the actions and so do the mums
AnonyMouse_1490 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 SNAP LJW there is another recent thread on here but I can't find it either.
Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Completely love those songs, thank you! I'm already humming them..... Bubblejack, glad to hear its not just me! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Edited February 2, 2008 by Guest
AnonyMouse_705 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Great songs. Andrea May is the tune 'If you're happy and you know it'? One year we gave Mums a simple posy, which was well received. An old favourite is bath salts made by the children using Epsom salts, adding a spot of food colouring, and perfume, wrapped in tissue paper and cellophane, with a ribbon. Adding a label, something like: This was made at Pre-School with my own fair hands a perfect gift for a perfect Mum, the best in all the land. Looking forward to seeing other people's ideas too.
Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I put Mother's presents in the search and although it gave me quite a few unrelated topics I did find some after a quick look through. Here is one that had quite a few replies. Linda
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Just a tip, LJW - have you tried searching 'Mothering Sunday'?
AnonyMouse_73 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 I wont pretend I know for sure but I think if you put your mothers day in " ", you don't get the problem with the word being too short. (im not going to try it, go on you do it?)
AnonyMouse_2846 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 yes it is deb,we have also had beautiful pictures of daffodils painted if you supply the right colour paints and have a bunch of dafs in middle of table it is a wonderful activity for looking at the shape and colours and lots of lovley language as you talk about the long stems and petals etc
