10 Heartwarming Mother’s Day Crafts to Make with Your Kids
Ready?!? Mother’s Day is a special day dedicated to honoring and celebrating the love, care, and hard work of mothers all around the world, and it’s time to help our kids make our special cards and gifts!!
Because we’re moms! Making a Mother’s Day craft is not only a fun and creative activity for kids, but it also teaches them important lessons about gratitude, empathy, and love.
Although some may think that helping kids make a craft for themselves on Mother’s Day is self-serving, it’s actually quite the opposite. The act of creating a gift for someone else, even if it’s with some assistance, teaches children the importance of gratitude, appreciation, and empathy. It also allows children to express their creativity and imagination while strengthening the bond between parent and child. So, helping your child make a craft for you on Mother’s Day is not only a thoughtful gesture, but it’s also an opportunity for them to learn and grow in meaningful ways.
Here are 10 Mother’s Day craft ideas that you can make with your kids:
- Handprint Flower Bouquet: Use your child’s handprints to create a beautiful bouquet of flowers on a piece of paper or canvas. Add some paint or other embellishments to make it extra special.
- Personalized Photo Album: Help your child create a special photo album filled with pictures of them with their mom. Decorate the album with stickers, washi tape, and other fun embellishments.
- Handwritten Poem or Letter: Encourage your child to write a heartfelt poem or letter to their mom expressing their love and appreciation. They can create a paper flowerpot booklet card to capture their love!!
- Beaded Jewelry: Use colorful beads and elastic string to create bracelets, necklaces, or earrings that your child and their mom can wear together.
- Homemade Candle: Make a homemade candle by melting down some beeswax and adding essential oils and other scents. Pour the wax into a decorative jar or container and add a personalized label.

Roses are red, violets are blue
I’m not great at rhyming, but Mom, I love you!
You taught me to walk, you taught me to talk
And how to avoid a silly gawk
You cleaned up my messes, you cooked me my meals
You even helped me with my own laundry deals
You kissed my booboos, you made me feel better
And now I’m writing this silly little letter
So on this Mother’s Day, I just want to say
That I love you more than words can convey
And though my rhyming skills may not be the best I hope this poem puts your heart at rest
Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom around Thanks for always being there, even when I’m a bit of a clown!
