SHE DESERVES THE BEST

On her special day, serve Mom a meat on a tray she'll treasure. Use children's existing artwork, or commission works specifically for this project. Paint a plain wooden tray, or purchase one ready-made from a home store. Place art in the bottom of the tray and cover with a piece of glass cut to fit.

MAY DAY BOUQUET

Sure to be a pick-me-up, this is the kind of pampering gift you want to hand-deliver. Roll heavyweight art paper into a cone and glue the seam closed. Thread a short ribbon through slits cut in two sides to make a handle. Purchase paper daisies at a crafts or stationary store, and glue a chain of them around the top of the cone. Fill the cone with crinkled strips of tissue paper. Nestle in lip balm tins or small, floral-scented lotions and deliver!
