Hooray, Hooray, It's the 100th Day!

Well, I live in the South where school starts early - August early!  So, our children celebrated the 100th Day of school on January 20.  This was the first year I have really had to get one of my own children involved with the 100th Day!  We had tons of fun prepping for it - she had to dress up as a 100 year old lady, makes poster with 100 objects and they had a big 100th Day party!  

Last year, I decided to create two fun sets of 100th Day activities and worksheets.  Both sets are for sell on Teachers Pay Teachers.  Also, I have an Etsy site and on there I sell the 100th Day t-shirt iron on transfers as well as the 100th Day treat bag toppers!

If your school is preparing to celebrate the 100th Day, go check out all my items!  I will post links and I also want to share my sweet girl as a 100 year old lady!

Her 100 Day poster - I have a girly girl who loves her bows so what better way to show the 100th Day than a girl with 50 bows on each pigtail!  She painted the poster and put the eyes on with adhesive foam pieces.She then glued the yarn on for hair.  I created the yarn pigtails and hot glued them for her.  She tied each ribbon in a knot for me and I made the bows out of that.

Muffins for Moms

As I sit here and plan out this year's Muffins for Mom theme, it hit me I never shared last years with everyone!  I have done several cute and different themes each year.  I always try to do something outside the box. I begin planning for the next year as soon as this year is over.   Last year I chose a Princess theme.  Sounds normal, right?!  Well, it is but I always try to do some fun and interesting centerpieces, crafts and gifts for the moms.

We always make super cute placemats for our moms.  I always try to do some type of handprint on their placemats so they can keep them forever!  Since our theme was "Princess", we did a castle handprint.  We added glitter clouds and used green chevron wash tape as the grass.  

For one of the gifts, I had each mom and child send in a recipe that they like to make together along with pictures of them making it.  We created a class cookbook.

Another gift we gave our moms was scented salt scrubs.

Another gift we made was a decorative plate with Princess handprints.

For the table decorations, I made feather boa topiaries with princess crowns on the top and painted the pots with princess crowns.

I used some clip art I had for the place cards.

Here is a close up of one mom's seat:

Each year, each student makes a portrait of their mom and answers several questions all about her.

Then, they also made a vase of celery print flowers

And as always, one last picture of me and my sweet daughter.  This was her last year at preschool and our last Muffins for Moms together.  She started Kindergarten this year.
