Holy Mother of Bookmarks! The Perfect Mother’s Day Craft for Sunday School

Mother’s Day is around the corner and the pressure is on to come up with the perfect gift for the special women in our lives. If you’re looking for a fun and meaningful craft to make with your Sunday school class, then look no further! We’ve got the perfect DIY craft for every Sunday school teacher out there wanting to give their students a way to say “thank you” to their wonderful mothers.

What you will need:

Paper
Laminating sheets
Scissors
Hole puncher
Ribbon

Step 1: Cut the cardstock paper

Cut the cardstock paper into rectangular strips. Depending on the size of the bookmarks you want, 2 inches to 3 inches should suffice. You can make each bookmark different shapes, such as a rectangle, a heart, or a cross.

Step 2: Decorate the bookmarks

Let the children go wild with their creativity and decorate their bookmarks with stickers that have words of appreciation, floral prints or anything fun they would like to use. Once they’re happy with their design, they can use a hole puncher to make a hole at the other end of the bookmark.

Step 3: Laminate the bookmarks

After the children are done with the decorating, cut laminating sheets to fit the size of the bookmark. Then, laminate each bookmark individually making sure there is enough space to punch through the hole to attach the ribbon later. This will protect the bookmarks and make them more durable.

Step 4: Attach the ribbon

After laminating the bookmarks, thread a ribbon through the hole and tie it up into a bow to give the bookmark a cute finishing touch.

Step 5: Gift the bookmarks

Now that the bookmarks are ready, they’re all set to be gifted to the wonderful mothers in your students’ lives. Remind the children to write a sweet message to accompany the bookmark expressing their love and gratitude towards their mothers.

In conclusion, this simple and easy Mother’s Day craft is a perfect way to teach children the importance of appreciation and gratitude towards their mothers. Making these bookmarks will show them just how important their mothers are and the love they have for them. This activity of expressing love and gratitude is not a one-time thing; children can try as much as possible to show love and appreciate their mothers every day. Thank us later for the amazing Sunday school class you’re going to have with this Holy Mother of Bookmarks!
