Recently our playgroup did a project for an elderly lady in our church. The idea for the cards came partly from a recent issue of Better Homes and Gardens. This is what we did:1. Took a picture of each of the children hugging a teddy bear. Printed the pictures off the computer, and cut them out as circles.
2. Glued the picture to the center of a muffin liner.
3. Glued the muffin liner inside of a second liner to make a daffodil shape.
4. Glued the flower to a card (folded construction paper)
5. Cut a number of green stems and leaves out of construction paper. The children then used glue sticks to glue them to the card. (something they could easily do, got them involved, and still left the card looking nice)
6. Gave the teddy bear and the cards to our friend in the nursing home, showing her that the teddy bear came bearing hugs from all of the little children at church.I really liked the way this worked out. Bringing all of the children to the nursing home would have been overwhelming to our friend, but the craft gave us all a sense of connectedness, and our friend seemed to really like knowing that we all had been thinking of her during our playgroup.
