Mother’s Day is a special occasion to show moms appreciation for all the love and care they give their kids throughout the year. Although, store-bought gifts can be lovely, there’s nothing quite like a handmade gift created with love and care. With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of six heartfelt Mother’s Day gift ideas that kids can create with their own hands. These gifts are easy to make, budget-friendly, and will definitely make any mom feel loved and cherished on her special day.
1. Handprint Art
There’s really something special about capturing a child’s handprint in a piece of artwork. This Mother’s Day, help your child create a handprint art project that mom can display with pride. All you need is some non-toxic paint and a clean canvas or paper. Have your child dip their hand in the paint and then press it onto the canvas. Afterwards, they can decorate the handprint with more paint, glitter, or markers to make a beautiful and unique piece of art that mom will keep as a precious memory.
2. Coupon Book
Moms are always busy taking care of others, so why not show them some love and give a chance to unwind? Help your kid create a coupon book filled with little tasks or treats that mom can redeem whenever she needs a break. Examples could include “One Free Hug”, “A Night of No Cooking”, or “A Homemade Spa Day”.
3. Personalized Jewelry
Moms adore wearing jewelry that reminds them of their loved ones, and what could be more special than a piece of jewelry made by their child? There are tons of simple DIY jewelry projects that kids can create with just a few supplies, like beads, string, and charms. Have your kid pick out their mom’s favorite colors and create a bracelet or necklace that is truly one-of-a-kind.
4. Photo Collage
A photo collage is a timeless Mother’s Day gift that will never go out of style. Help your kid gather some of their favorite photos with their mom and create a collage using a poster board or photo album. You can also add stickers, scrapbook paper, and other decorations to make it extra special.
5. Flower Pot
A flower pot is not only a beautiful gift, but it’s also a great way to encourage your child’s love of nature. Let your child decorate a small flower pot with paint, markers, or stickers, and then plant some of mom’s favorite flowers or herbs inside. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, as mom can enjoy watching the plants grow and flourish throughout the year. 6. Memory Box: Moms love keeping mementos and keepsakes from their children’s childhood, so why not give her a special place to store them? Help your child decorate a small box with paint, stickers, or decoupage, and then fill it with little notes, drawings, and other special items that remind mom of all the special moments you’ve shared together.
