Do you have a superhero mom in your life? Or twenty, perhaps? She may be your own mother, your wife, or the many moms of the students you teach.
We know how hard moms work to make every day meaningful. If we truly are going to choose only one day each year to celebrate moms, let’s make their Mother’s Day gift (or birthday gift, or just for the heck of it gift) truly meaningful, too!
I was so in love with the custom superhero action figures I learned about via Cool Mom Picks that I decided to design a superhero themed activity that the kids could create on their own.
A few cool things about this printable mini-book, My Mom the Superhero:
- It’s easy and fun for kids of all ages, even the grown up kind.
- It’s a truly personal gift.
- It’s easy to store and look back on, especially on those days when Mom could really use a lift.
- Each page begins with “My mom is a superhero because…” Older children can finish each sentence by writing their heartfelt answers. Younger kids can draw or collage pictures instead.
- If you decide that you absolutely must have one of those action figures I mentioned above (they’re pretty amazing, aren’t they?), My Mom the Superhero makes the perfect complement to your superhero themed Mother’s Day gift. Of course, it makes a great stand-alone gift, too.
Easy Instructions
This 10-page pdf is designed to be duplex printed. (The upside down pages are intentional, by the way.) Standard printing paper works just fine. If the kids want to color with thick, bleed-through markers, card stock may be better.
The simplest way to create this mini-book is to remove all 5 duplex printed pages from the printer together, fold the entire stack in half, then staple the pages or sew them together with string or ribbon. If the pages somehow wind up out of order, simply refer back to the original file or to the order of pages listed below:
- Cover page
- My mom is a superhero because… she always knows…
- My mom is a superhero because… she’s really good at…
- My mom is a superhero because… she helps me…
- My mom is a superhero because… she teaches me…
With those pages in order, the following pages will fall into place:
- My mom is a superhero because… she likes to…
- My mom is a superhero because… she often says…
- My mom is a superhero because… when I’m with her I feel…
- My mom is…
