10 Mothers Day Crafts for Kids Ideas

Mother’s Day is a celebration of the women who gave us life, mothers, mother-in-laws, and even grandmothers or step-mothers.

So much of the holiday is geared around the idea of giving gifts. This year, consider having your children make a gift for the special women in their life.

Here are some fun and easy Mother’s Day crafts that you can make with your kids.

1. Make a Handprint Flower Bouquet for Mom

This handprint flower bouquet is perfect for preschoolers to make for their moms.

They’ll love being able to get a little messy with the paint and glue, and you’ll love how much it looks like a real bouquet of flowers!

This craft is also great for kids who don’t have a mom to celebrate on Mother’s Day. They can give the bouquet to a grandmother, aunt, or any other special lady in their life.

2. Make a Handprint and Footprint Flower

This is a classic craft that kids have been making for years. It’s the perfect way to capture how small your little ones’ hands and feet are.

All you need is some paint, paper, and a little creativity. This craft is simple and fun, and it’s perfect for kids of all ages.

3. Make a Mother’s Day Card with a Special Bouquet Inside

If you want to make a special Mother’s Day card but you don’t want to use paper, this is the perfect card craft for you! You can write a special message on the back of the wood and then glue a bouquet of flowers on the inside of the card.

This is a great way to make a homemade card that is extra special.

4. Make a Mother’s Day Card with a Special Photo Inside

Use a recent photo of your child to make a special card for mom.

The photo can be of the child by themselves, or with mom if you get a chance to take a special photo just for the card.

If you have a photo printer, you can print the photos at home.

Or you can print them at a local photo lab or drugstore. Most places that print photos will also print a 5×7 photo card for you.

If you don’t have a photo printer, you can order 5×7 photo cards from Shutterfly and pick them up from a local drugstore in as little as an hour. You can also have them shipped to your house.

Once you have your photo, you can glue it to the front of a blank card, or print it directly onto a photo card.

Then, have the kids decorate the inside of the card with markers, stickers, and drawings.

You can also add a sweet quote or poem to the inside of the card. Here are a few of my favorites:

• “Home is where your mom is.”

• “A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.”

• “The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation.”

• “Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.” – Robert Browning

• “To the world, you are a mother. To your family, you are the world.”

• “You are the greatest gift from the heavens, filled with love and care for all your children and the entire family.”

• “There’s a reason some people think they can achieve anything. They listened to their mother.”

5. Make Mom a Handprint Apron

This is such a cute idea and would be a great gift for a mom who likes to cook. You can use a store-bought apron or make your own with some fabric and ribbon.

Use fabric paint to make a handprint design on the apron. You could make just one handprint or make a pattern of handprints.

You could also use a stencil to paint on the word “Mom” or “Grandma” or whatever the special mom in your life goes by.

6. Make a Handprint Keepsake Box for Mom

This is a great craft for kids of all ages.

You can make a handprint keepsake box as a gift for mom or grandma. You can also make one for yourself to keep your jewelry in!

This craft is a two-parter. You’ll make the box and then decorate it with handprints.

You can decorate the box with handprints from one child, or you can get the whole family involved.

7. Make a Handprint or Footprint Plaque for Mom

Mom will love getting a special keepsake with a handprint or footprint from her child.

You can make these with air-dry clay and then paint them, or use a kit like the one I used to make this one.

I love using kits for these kinds of projects because they come with everything you need and are so easy to use.

This one is a kit to make a heart-shaped handprint plaque.

For a footprint, you could use a kit like this one.

You can also make your own with air-dry clay and a heart-shaped cookie cutter.

8. Make a Handprint or Footprint Fridge Magnet for Mom

I love the idea of making a handprint or footprint fridge magnet for Mother’s Day.

Not only will it be a keepsake, but it will also be useful!

There are a few different ways you can make a handprint or footprint fridge magnet.

You can use an air-dry or oven-baked clay, homemade salt dough, or you can use a silicone mold and resin.

I love the look of the handprint and footprint fridge magnets made with resin.

The resin gives the handprint and footprint a beautiful, glossy finish, and the magnets look so professional.

If you do decide to use resin, make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment and follow all the safety guidelines.

9. Make a Handprint or Footprint Keychain for Mom

This is a great idea for kids who want to create a keepsake for mom that she can take with her.

These handprint and footprint keychains are adorable and a great way to remember how little your kids were when they made them.

You can make these out of air dry clay, salt dough, or even shrinky dinks! There are so many different ways to make these and you can make them as simple or as fancy as you would like.

10. Make a Handprint or Footprint Necklace for Mom

This handprint or footprint necklace is a fun craft that you can do with your kids to make a keepsake for mom.

You can make a necklace or a keychain with this craft, and it is a fun way to make a keepsake that will last.

If you are making this craft with a baby or toddler, you can make a footprint necklace or keychain.

If you are making this craft with a preschooler or older child, you can make a handprint necklace or keychain.

This craft is so simple to make and it is a great way to preserve a precious memory.

I will show you how to make a necklace or a keychain, and I will also show you how to make a printable tag to go with your necklace or keychain.
