Do you have a Mother's Day gift ready yet? Usually at this point in the year it seems that I am scrambling to put together a cute gift from my students for their mothers and grandmothers. Not this year! :) I have been so excited to try this gift out since December. As I was blog hopping through my favorite blogs, a teacher shared how they made each of their students a word cloud with words describing them, put it in a frame, and gave it to them as their Christmas gift. I absolutely loved the idea so much, it came to my mind that my students could make their own word clouds for their Mother's Day gifts. So... that's exactly what we created this week! This is by far my favorite Mother's Day gift my students have ever made. Although it can not be seen in the photo below, the students also glued a small picture of themselves holding a "Happy Mother's Day" balloon in the corner of the word cloud.

If you are looking at the calendar and realizing you only have 3 school days left until Mother's Day and no gift from your students... have no fear! In less than an hour your students can create this cute, thoughtful gift. Here's how...
3. Type in words from brainstorming page, customize font, colors, word order, and more
4. Save, print, frame (Instead of framing you could also use as the front of a student-made card)
So easy and great for ANY age! Have fun creating and Happy Mother's Day!
