Being class mom this year has been an incredible journey! Being on the other side of the coin was unique and exciting. The teacher's this year have been amazing and I wanted to give them something they could use and treasure for years. This was a multi-step process that the kids were part of. I painted to base blue and grass ahead of time. Then, asked each child to give me a thumbprint to create a insect/flower/animal of their choice. After, I got to work on all of the small details creating the insects, flowers, and animals and bringing them to life!! This was sooooo much fun and I must say, I wanted one for myself. I presented the teachers with these vases, filled with flowers, at the moving up ceremony and they both cried- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! I'm already planning gifts for next year, I don't know if I can top this one though, it will be hard!!
