DLTK's Crafts for Kids
I'm a Little Teapot Craft
This is a good craft for a mom or grandma who
enjoys a cup of tea! You can accompany it with some purchased tea bags, tea pot or
tea cup. "Linda" sent in a suggestion to go with this craft as well...
attach a single bag of tea and this poem:
Although this craft was originally meant to be a
fridge magnet, if you don't have magnet backings don't worry about it too much. Use
the craft for a card, make a collage/picture from it or just as individual pictures to
hang up. I'm sure mom will love it no matter how the kids present it!
I have put in TWO teacups so if it's a family of
2 children, they can each be a cup and mom can be the teapot. OR, if you're making
this for Grandparent's Day the child can be the teapot and grandma and grandpa can each be
a cup! |
Here's a gift for
Mother's Day.
I'll do my best in every way.
But when you get upset with me,
relax and have a cup of tea.
With love, (child's name).

MATERIALS NEEDED
- printer,
- paper,
- scissors,
- something to colour with,
- Magnet backing (Optional)
- A photograph or hand drawn picture of mom's face
and a photograph or hand drawn picture of the child's face that will fit inside the circle
of the flower and the circle of the sun.
- To make the craft sturdier, you can paste the
paper template onto a piece of poster board or cardboard before cutting it out.
(Whenever I need poster board, I usually use the cardboard that comes out of nylon
stocking packages or from cereal boxes)
Instructions:
WORDS TO

I'm a little teapot, short and

Here is my handle, and here is my spout.
When I spy a teacup, then I shout,
Tip me over and pour me out!
