Print out the following poem and attach to a red craft paper heart. Let children draw on the back of the heart.

A Cup of Thoughtfulness
Original Author unknown

Take a cup of thoughtfulness
And add a lot of love,
Blend with smiles as warming
As the sunshine from above,
Add a cheerful spirit
And, of course, a heart that sings
And also the ability
To laugh at little things,
Stir in lots of tenderness
And understanding, too
And there you have the recipe
For mothers dear as you.
