Top Ten Mother's Day Idea

5/1/2015

 
by Selena Xu (age 9) 
I remember the time when my mom and I had a fight about something really small like who said the correct answer to a question. I was very sad, but I learned that nobody’s perfect, and we all learn from mistakes. We never apologized to each other, but we know everything is alright between us. This is why we celebrate Mother’s Day─ to tell your mom that you appreciate everything they have done for. As a kid, we don’t have a lot of money to buy expensive gifts or take our parents to trips, but here are some ideas that might work:

Picture
1.       Make a card

Yes, this is simple, but put your heart (not literally) into writing it. Choose your words wisely, instead just saying “I love you, mom,” maybe you can write a poem or some details that you remember the most.

2. Make a collage.
Collages are good to refresh your mom’s memories on the good times you spent together. Select some pictures you have with your mom and write a neat caption under each one, thanking your mother for the good times. It will definitely bring tears in her eyes.

3. Buy small gifts. 

  This will not cost a lot. Buy something like hand sanitizers, and lotion, and make-up, earrings and other small things. I recommend buying things from Bath and Body Works because their fragrances are super good and they last longer than you think! At Bath and Body Works, you can create a package of a pair, and it’s cheap so what you can do is make a package, add a small card and you’re done.  

4.Buy a book.

Buy a great book for your mother is a good idea. First, you need to know your mom’s “taste” in books. What does she like the most? Adventure, Fantasy, Beauty or Romance? Aside from buying the book, you also need to give her time to read. So I suggest you take up a couple chores during that day and give her time to read books and drink tea!

5.Make a basic craft.

This is super-simple and plus, it’s DIY (do-it-yourself) and you get to be creative! Make a necklace, a bracelet, an art canvas, rainbow loom, anything related to DIY. Your parents will absolutely love it because YOU made it and THEY love YOU.

6. Invite your parents to a restaurant.

This may costs a lot. Try to bring your parents somewhere that they always wanted to go, or somewhere they didn’t expect. I personally think that everything that you would end up paying under $40 will be fine. They will enjoy it a lot. I would not suggest a romantic restaurants because they always tends to be expensive!

7. Buy some flowers.


You will be thinking “this is easy,”. Every flower has a language or meaning. I strongly recommend Primroses because they mean ‘I can’t live without you’ and also Daffodil is a good one because it means the sun is always shining when I’m with you. You can choose your own flowers by going on http://thelanguageofflowers.com/ because it gives you almost all flower meaning.

8. Bring them to a spa

This is not common, but you know, all woman need to attend a spa, and want a spa, so they can relax instead of working hard at home. They will experience a trip of a lifetime, and enjoy relaxation. 


9. Make breakfast in bed 


My family does this every Mother’s day. My dad and I wake super early and we make toast, eggs, fruits and milk. We bring it upstairs and we wake her up and wish her a happy Mother’s day. I suggest picking her favourite food and fruit to surprise her. Think of what to say, to surprise her, but don’t scare her, that might ruin her day

10. Give them hugs and kisses


Yes. I mean it. This costs lots of love. We need to understand how love is important to us and the world. Our life is not to give presents on special days, it’s to give love! So give them a hug or kiss, to show that presents are just extra, and love is always a gift. Thank your mom for giving you a life, letting you do the things you like, and mostly, showing love and care to you and your family. So be happy you are on land and tell your mom “I love you”.

top ten halloween costume ideas
Struggling with Halloween ideas? Check out these ideas by children!

Idea and drawings by William Yang (Age 12), Edward Yang (Age 8), Leo Yang (Age 8), Alex Hu (9)

2. Squid
A squid costume will look very scary and is very creative. Not a lot of people decide to be a squid so you will look very original. Use a double layer of fabric and stuff it with cotton or wool. Sew pieces of fabric around the body for the tentacles.
1. Aang (Avatar)
Aang is a popular character from the TV series, “Avatar: The Last Airbender”. It is a really easy costume to make. Wear a yellow or orange shirt, brown pants and a brown belt. You’re ready to go!

3. Mummy 
If you’re looking for a cool, easy and cheap costume to make, choose the mummy!
Wrap yourself in toilet paper and use mud to look old and dusty. Remember to leave
air holes at the eyes, nose and mouth and wear brown clothes underneath. You’re
ready to go!

5. Deformed Alien
This deformed alien costume is very creative and versatile. There are many different ways to make this costume
fit anyone’s unique
preferences. First, stuff your clothes with paper or cloth to make one side bigger than the other. It is best to wear one shirt size and pants bigger. Next, wear one shoe bigger than the other. Then, carry two different toy guns – water guns work well!
4. Hunchback
The hunchback costume is easy to make and fun to do. It is a hilarious costume because it looks ridiculous. When making it, use a brown shirt and stuff the back with paper or cloth. It is usually worn with dull looking colours such as grey, brown, black or red. These colours are used for a peasant look as the character is always portrayed as a poor street urchin.

6. Flower
This flower costume has a very simple concept. Anybody can be a flower - even adults! When making it, use yellow silk or cotton around your head. For the body, you need to wear green clothing as the stem and leaves. Petals for your arms can be any colour that you desire.

8. Zombie

Zombies are always
looking freaky and
are another easy to make costume choice. Wear any clothing you want and dust yourself with dirt. Use red paint for the blood effect and don’t forget to walk funny!
7. Vampire
It’s a Halloween classic
- the vampire is a scary
costume that is also easy
to make. Use a black bed
sheet as your cape and
wear a white dress shirt
and black pants. Use red
paint to give the effect
of blood and buy a set of
vampire fangs from a
local costume shop, thrift
shop or dollar store.

9. Ghost

This ghost costume is the easiest to make. You usually need a long, white
sheet like a bed sheet or blanket. Make sure you cut holes for the eyes. Also, use white powder on the whole
body for a ghostly  appearance!

10. Robot
The robot costume is a very fascinating
invention. It is strong, powerful and
smart. A lot of boxes and tubes will be
used for the body. Glue an old keyboard
and black glass on the body part of the
box. Make sure to use a lot of glitter
for buttons. The glitter can also be
used to make the armor shiny.
