Getting ready
Age & adult help
Personal writing prompts and a folding keepsake layout add demands beyond a simple colouring card.
Read the prompts, write down a younger child’s answers and help with cutting and folds.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper, pencil or pen, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. Glue or tape may be useful if the template needs joining.
Time & preparation
One booklet and card, including colouring and writing. Teaching time is additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Suggested Bible reading: Psalm 127:3
This keepsake uses writing about a mother, memories and appreciation rather than retelling a Bible event. Psalm 127 describes children as a gift, offering a starting point for gratitude and responsibility in family life.
Main takeaway: Specific words of appreciation can recognise the care a person gives.
As you write the keepsake
Choose a writing prompt and add a specific memory, quality or example of care rather than only a general compliment.
Use a favourite memory or an example of care to complete a writing prompt. Allow a child to choose another caring adult and to leave private feelings unwritten.
An adult can scribe a younger child’s words. Older learners can revise their message so it feels personal, with another caring adult chosen as the recipient where appropriate.
Questions to explore
- What small act of care do you remember?
- What would you like your chosen person to know?
- How could you express thanks in a specific way?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 3-page PDF: MothersDay-Story.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Is this a rotating wheel or a folding craft?
The supplied instructions show a folding strip attached to a circular cover. Colour and cut the pieces, fold the strip on the marked lines, then glue its top and bottom ends to the cover as indicated. Open it to reveal the story or writing sections; this version does not need a spinner fastener. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Psalm 127:3.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. MothersDay-Story.pdf: print pages 2, 3 for each learner or group. Page 1 is the assembly guide, which can be shared. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper, colouring pencils, scissors and glue. Help make the strip folds and attach the ends without gluing the opening sections shut.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–10 years. Help with the cover cuts, concertina folds and gluing the marked ends. Read the story or writing prompts aloud where needed. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
