Instructions:
1. Begin by downloading the superhero template. The template is made with several different faces and gift tags on each page to accommodate a classroom if needed and to conserve paper. Print the faces on a skin color cardstock of your choice, print the gift tags on white cardstock and print the the superhero capes on any color of cardstock.
2. Cut out a superhero face, tag and cape. Use your markers to color in the features on the superhero face like eyes, nose and a mouth. Then color in the heart on the gift tag.
3. Cut three strands of yarn for the hair. Glue them down at the top of your superhero with tacky glue. You might also like to add bangs if your Mom has them.
4. Place the candy bar in the center of the superhero cape with the bottom of the candy bar at the bottom of the cape. Fold the top two corners inward and make a crease to create your cape. Remove the candy bar, add two pieces of tape in the center of the cape and stick your candy bar in place. Add a piece of tape on each corner of the folded cape and stick them down onto the candy bar.
5. Add a piece of tape at the bottom of the candy bar and place your gift tag on it. Finish your DIY superhero Mother’s Day gift by taping the face at the top of the candy bar.

January 3, 2018 at 12:11 PMWhat size candy bars are used in the Mother’s Day Superhero gifts?
Rachel says
February 5, 2018 at 9:12 AMThe candy bars were just a single size Hershey’s bar. I bought the package of 6 at my local grocery store. I think you could make the template work with a variety of different candy bar sizes though.
