Ready to bring a HUGE smile to the special ladies in the lives of your little sweeties?
Here's just the thing!
First, collect empty water bottles from the students about a week before starting the project (store the bottles without the caps on for a few days so they have time to dry out).
This should be NOOOO problem since we all have been recycling for Earth Day...right???

Next, have them write a message to their mom (or other family member).
Then, they can cut it out and roll it into a tube small enough to fit inside the neck of the bottle. Be sure the message is facing the outside! The writing paper is sized to open when put inside the bottle.
Finally, send home the bottles and secretly have your students float it in the tub, put it in the
shower, or even hide it in the dishwasher!! Anywhere they put it, this keepsake is sure to bring that warm and fuzzy feeling to its special recipient!
My own kiddos surprised their grandma by hiding a bottle in the fridge in the same spot as all of her "regular" water bottles!
One thing to keep in mind...
-You may want to have your students write their messages in pencil first and then trace it with marker because once the paper is put into the bottle...it's in there for good!!
