Ain’t it grand? There’s nothing like a mother’s love for her baby on their first day of kindergarten. We made these “Kissing Hand” projects for the kids to take home the first day…. and to make their mamas feel better about sending their babies off to the “big world.” There’s also nothing like getting into some paint on the first day of school! Thank goodness for my wonderful aide who has no fear! 🙂
There is also a note on the back of the paper that reads:
