LESSON HELPS: A Mother - Author Unknown Divide the class up into groups and give each group a different part of the Family Proclamation. Each of the groups picks what the proclamation says in their part about a mother's roll, then talk about it. Mothering isn't just for moms anymore (2007 BYU Women's Conference) Scriptures about Mothers You could use a diamond/gem/crystal theme, and bring out the "many facets" of a mother, and how no two mothers/gems are exactly the same, nor do they need to be. There are some of the Christmas lights that have gem like covers that could be used in decorating. You could make rock candy - the kind that crystallizes on a string/stick, and make each table a different color signifying a different gemstone. For a woman who is not yet a mother, you might make an analogy to a geode - where all the crystals are developing on the inside waiting to be opened, and at some point they will. (Idea by Deborah Woods)

There were 8 kids in the group so you only had to do it once a month. We had play time, color time, snack time, school time, music time, tv time, lunch time and nap time and stuff like that. It was for 6 hours. This gave much needed relief to 8 women. (Carole Reynolds)

Just wanted to pass along a fun idea for Mother's day! It was cheap & not too hard! I'm SO excited about how they turned out! We were able to make 120 necklaces for about $5. (we only had to buy the shrinky dink paper, which was $7 minus a 40% off coupon!) We have papers with boy & girl stick figures on them. Then you trace the figures onto Shrinky Dink paper, let the kids color them in with colored pencils & punch holes at the top & write names (if wanted), then bake them & make into necklaces or whatever else you wanted. all the kids had so much fun coloring them, and the older kids really got into them with polka dots & stripes, etc. So fun! If moms have more than 1 child in primary, they could combine their necklaces so there would be more than 1 little shrinky-dink charm on it, separated by a pony bead. These would be great for Grandmas too!The pictures of them show how cute they are, but I don't know how to attach a picture here.

Do any of you wonderful ladies have a cute card that I could make for mothers day this coming Sunday? I'm really going crazy because I don't have anything for Sunday and our Primary is huge, well, for me I know there are bigger, we have 80 kids on attendance every Sunday, Thanks for your help!!!!
This Sunday for Mother's Day, I'm going to combine two ideas from here. I'm going to use the idea about the roles that mom's are. I will have an item for each role (nurse - first aid kit, chef - apron, etc). I'll put each item in it's own bag and make them mystery bags. I'll have a child pick a bag. Before opening the bag I'll read the clue but say "My mommy's a _____ who fixes and patches..." and have them fill in the blank. Then we'll pull out the item to see if they're right. Then for each role I'll tie in stories about the prophet's moms and find one story that will go with each role, i.e. Nurse - Joseph Smith's mom, caring for him before and after surgery on leg.
