Four Kid-Made & Heartwarming Mother’s Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is a special day for many people. It’s a day where everyone is giving extra special recognition to the woman who has cared for them since they entered the world. Young children are eager to show their love and appreciation to their mothers; however, shopping for Mom can be difficult
for them when they lack the ability to purchase a nice gift. Never fret though, as the best gifts are usually ones made with love and effort! Here are four thoughtful gifts that are perfect for little hands to make.

Handmade Mother’s Day Card

These cards can be as simple as a folded piece of paper with your child drawing and coloring his love into a special message for mom. Dad can help create a plaster handprint and a simple poem that expresses your child’s feelings, and this gift is sure to have her shed a tear or two of happiness.

Breakfast in Bed

Who doesn’t love having breakfast in bed? This will surely make mom happy if your child can pull it off. Make sure dad is in the kitchen assisting the little chef with his creation so they don’t get hurt or make a huge mess. Scrambled eggs, pancakes, coffee and orange juice is a pretty stable Happy Mother’s Day
breakfast and it’s relatively simple for children to make.

Personalized Tote Bags

Tote bags are extremely versatile gifts that mothers can use on a daily basis, whether as reusable grocery bags or a bag to bring on picnics or vacations. Having your child paint a special picture or message on a canvas tote bag is a great and simple gift to give on Mother’s Day. All you need is some
fabric paints, a brush and a canvas tote bag, which you can find at any craft store.

Fleece Tie Blanket

These fleece tie blankets are soft, warm and comforting. This is another handmade gift that any mom would love, and best of all it’s extremely simple to make. The only things you need are scissors, two different fleece fabrics (about 2 to 3 yards of each) and adult supervision. To create the blanket, cut both pieces of fleece so they are the same length and shape. After that, your child should cut 2 inch long strips around the fabric that are 1 inch apart. Finally, tie the fabric strips together and your blanket is done. Simple and a lasting Mother’s Day gift!

Your child will be sure to surprise and impress mom with these thoughtful and hand crafted gifts! If craft time doesn’t go as expected, there’s always dad to the rescue and he can order a Mother’s Day bear from The Serious Teddy Bear Company or a cookie basket from Cookies by Design and sign their name.
Either way, mom will be all smiles from ear to ear!
