<p>A simple printable bouquet for children to decorate and gift to whoever they consider to be a mother figure in their life.</p>
<p>Needs to be printed on card for durability and the stems can be given extra strength if stuck to using lolly sticks. You could fill the cone with chocolates or a cone of bath salts if you want to make it a more substantial gift. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>This is a super easy and simple activity for children young and old to give as a gift to those who help them to grow be it physically or spiritually or both!<br />
They can be used for Mothers day or as gifts for any day. All you need are some clean jam jars with labels removed &#8211; or any jar / pot you choose.<br />
Print the labels and Bible verses. Children can write their names on the labels and draw pictures if they choose. Glue the label to the front of the pot.<br />
Cut out the bible verses, children can then roll or fold them and place into the jar.</p>
<p>You might choose to add small amounts of table confetti into the pot &#8211; such as little hearts or if your pots are large you could put some wrapped sweets for the recipient at<br />
the bottom and the verses on top. Children can decorate the pots / jars with stickers etc. You might also choose to tie some ribbon around the pot for an extra special touch.</p>
