Make a Picture Perfect Placemat

Kids generally can’t come up with the cash to buy the bling that Mom deserves. But for Mother’s Day, all Mom really wants is something from the heart. And maybe a little quiet time!

Why not assign the kids an activity that will keep them busy for a few hours and make Mom really happy to boot? This placemat, filled with pictures of all the people mom loves, is sure to make her Mother's Day extra special.

What You Need:

• 1 piece heavy cardboard (size 8 ½” x 11”)
• Glue
• Family pictures and mementos
• 2 sheets clear contact paper

What You Do:

1. Have your kids decorate the cardboard with pictures, mementos, and any other drawings, poems, or special messages they would like to include, gluing them in place.
2. When they're finished, they should place the decorated cardboard between the sheets of clear contact paper pressing down evenly.

Use the placemat to serve Mom her Mother's Day breakfast in bed!
