Well Easter is over and this year Mother's Day is just 3 weeks away. Hopefully the temperatures will go up before then. It's been very cold this April. I can hardly wait until I can pull out those shorts and swimming suits. In the meantime, here is a simple craft that you and your kids can do together. Just a cute little something from the Grandchildren to Grandma... I've made these for lots of holidays and I think they are so cute. Just a little added touch to make Mom's Day a little special for you and your Moms.

Instructions for Making Nugget Wrappers and Tray
- Although I have included the instructions for the nugget wrappers in the printable, I thought I would also include the instructions on this post. The wrappers are pretty easy. Just print the ones you want and cut them out.
- The tray is very easy. If you don't have a Scor pal, you can easily use a ruler. Cut the size that you are interested in...1 7/8"X 4 1/4" for a four pack of nuggets, 1 7/8"X 6 1/4" for a six pack, and 1 7/8"X 8 1/2" for an eight pack.
- Score the construction paper or cardstock 1/4" on both long sides. You can use the rounded end of a paper clip to score the paper if you don't have a Scor pal. Once scored, fold on score line to give each side an edge where the nuggets will be held in place.
- Place a piece of double faced tape down the center of the tray or a dot of glue....whatever you have available. Then place nuggets in the tray. The tape or glue holds them in place so they don't move around. If using glue, wait until the glue is dry before you put in to the pretzel bag.
- Insert your tray of nuggets into the pretzel bag. (These can be purchased at Walmart, craft stores that have cake decorating items or online. They are very reasonable.
- Cut out the topper and make a hole at the top of the topper. You can use yarn, ribbon, jute, or whatever you have on hand to seal the bag. The pretzel bags do come with silver ties also.
- And that's it...pretty easy and very creative!

Here's hoping you will all have a great Mother's Day. I love when the kids bring hanging pots for our home and for the lake!
