Materials Needed
The materials needed for this craft are easy to find and inexpensive. You’ll need yellow and pink cardstock paper, scissors, a glue stick, a black marker, and a ruler or measuring tape. You can also use other colors of cardstock paper if you prefer. Additionally, you’ll need something to hang the finished product. This could be a frame, a string and clothespins, or something similar.
Creating the Sun and Clouds
Start by cutting out a large circle from your yellow cardstock paper. This will be the sun. Next, measure and cut out four small clouds from your pink cardstock paper. Make sure the clouds are small enough to fit around the sun. Then, use your glue stick to glue the clouds to the sun. You may need to adjust the clouds slightly to make them fit the sun perfectly.
Using your black marker, write “You are My Sunshine” inside the circle. You can also choose to write something else if you prefer. Just make sure it’s something that your mother will appreciate. When you’re finished, set the sun aside to dry.
Finishing the Craft
Once the sun is dry, you can begin to put the craft together. Start by finding something to hang the finished product. This could be a frame, a string and clothespins, or something similar. Once you have your hanging device, use your glue stick to glue the sun to the bottom of the frame. Then, set the craft aside to dry.
Your “You Are My Sunshine” Mother’s Day craft is now ready to give to your mother. You can present it to her on Mother’s Day or surprise her with it anytime throughout the year. She’ll be sure to love this special reminder of your love.
