Roses are Red, I'll Make your Bed

Every woman loves a bouquet of flowers. Cut a dozen flowers (2” x 3” across) out of construction paper in a variety of colors. Then cut twelve stems (at least 1/2” wide) with some leaves attached and glue them onto the back of each flower. Now, write simple little phrases that promise help with a task Mom usually does: “Roses are red, I’ll make your bed. Violets are blue, I vacuum too. Posies are pink, I’ll clean the sink. Daisies are yellow, I’m your dusting fellow.” Cut a flower pot and glue sides and bottom to blank card. Once dry, slip your sweet blossoms into the pot and write a few words inside before you present this gift to Mom.
