SPOILER ALERT: if you are a mama from preschool and you have not opened your green tissue paper or white lunch bag present, stop reading (and check your child’s backpack…)!

but may you all know the joy children take in making something for someone special. this year they were “found items necklaces” (or “things to hang on a nail if the mom doesn’t wear necklaces” as one friend said) with 1 inch photos of each.
yes, my mom would want this.
oh, my mom loves this color.
my mom needs a lot of these.
my mom wants one of everything.
totally worth the mess.

Your ideas are great! thank you for this particular one… I wish I receive a necklace like this one day… ‘ a found happiness’
These are just adorable–and the little pictures of the children peeking out are priceless.
I just stumbled upon your blog via another, and after going through a bunch of your posts, all I can say is this… I wish I were in your class!
I love that your mug of coffee is in that last photo :) This is a really nice, child centered idea — each child really comes out in each one.
OMG…seriously, this brought tears to my eyes…those are some LUCKY mamas! Those necklaces are something to truly treasure! What a great teacher you are! (((HUGS)))
