Soap Cloud Mother's Day Activity

[Christian Mother]

We are doing that cute Soap Cloud Activity for Mother's Day. I decided that the kids and I would make the soaps together to put into little baggies tied with decorative ribbon. And we would wrap up Dove Soap in their handprints but I am having a hard time finding a cute saying or poem to go along with the Cloud activity. Any creative minds out there good with words that can help me?

I don't have one directly for the cloud activity, we are doing it too. But, on top of the soaps we are also doing salt dough hand prints with the following saying:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I'm growing -
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Doesn't exactly help your situation, but maybe instead of having the poem tied directly to the clouds, you can have it associated with the Dove Soap? (Maybe I'm not fully understanding what you mean by you would wrap up Dove Soap in their hand prints?)

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.

All I am or can be I owe to my angel Mother

To the world you might just be one person,
but to one person you might just be the world.

It takes someone really brave to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself.

hope this help.

The soap clouds worked for me but I couldn't get them formed into other shapes. The soap from the clouds was just too flakey to work with even with added warm water. Anyone had good success yet?

Ours turned out pretty well the second time around. We over-mixed the first time. We used playdough shapers and let them dry for a few days. They're on the crumbly side, but I'm sure the Moms will love them lovethis

My 29-year-old son came over and I showed him the soap clouds, he thought it was so cool he took home some ivory soap to show his fiance ::

Well for the soap clouds, only Ivory works. Dove won't do it. Ivory is weird. :P but it really is only Ivory soap that works for this.
