Practising poems leads children to play around with poem structures so children will be able to improve their literacy skills. Mothers will be proud with even a single heartfelt message.

Design with paper

It could also be a drawing; the drawing could be a flower, a picture of their mum. The form could be a heart-shaped one and many other shapes. Children can make the paper into a book to write a story, which is the next activity idea.
