Comments:
This went pretty quickly. The kids really liked making something special for their moms. I used my digital camera and took pictures of the kids then printed them on my computer while they started working. Although it takes a while to allow the glue to dry the actual time working on this craft is only about 10 minutes. I used the time while the glue was drying to make home made cards to go with this craft.
