To make a layered Mother’s Day card, stack different colors of paper on top of each other (there are 4 sheets shown here.) Spread them out so there is about an inch (2-3 cm.) of each color showing for each layer.

Fold the whole stack of papers so that the layers continue to staircase at the same rate (the middle sheet is folded in half.)

Write a short note of appreciation on each color. Lift each layer and write about an incident that exemplifies what was written on the outside, or add a photo with a caption. Artistic children could even draw pictures to illustrate. Of course, the top two layers won’t have much room!

If you want a more sophisticated look, type everything on the computer--write phrases on the bottom edge of the paper, then flip them over, and write more phrases on that  bottom edge. Then stack the sheets, spread them out so the writing shows, then fold them so the other half of the phrases show.
