Footprint Bookmark
This is what I make each year for my studetns to give their moms for Mother's Day. I was given one when my now 12 year old was in three year old preshcool and I still have it! You paint each child's foot any number of colors you want (we have 3 choices out and let them pick one or a combo of 2 or three.) Then we make the footprint onto cardstock. After they are dry we cut them out, add the poem on the back, (Please use my foot to mark your book!) and laminate.

Saw this on the American Girl Facebook page and since Pinterest can not yet pin from Facebook, I decided to put it here. Great idea for teacher gift, Sunday school teacher gift, etc.
  

Rainbow in a Jar
1. Cut a colorful piece of paper to fit on the lid of a clean jar. Attach the paper to the lid with double-sided tape.
2. Wash your hands, and open a bag of brightly colored candies. Sort candies by color, and layer them in the jar to make a rainbow. Replace lid tightly.
3. Write a sweet message on a piece of colored paper. Punch a hole in the paper, and attach the tag with a ribbon. Present your rainbow with a smile!
