These easy crafts for kids are sure to make Mother's Day sweet.
My mom still has a few Mother’s Day gifts I made for her back in my childhood, and now that I am a mother myself, I can understand why that macaroni-studded flower pot means so much to her. In a world where we can purchase anything with convenience, ease (and let’s face it, very little thought), handmade Mother’s Day gifts from our children will stand the test of time.
As a former preschool teacher, I know that my students’ mothers will cherish some of their handmade masterpieces forever, and others, well, mom may have held on for a few weeks before tossing them. To save your child from creating beautiful masterpieces that will only last a few months, here are the top five projects I have found to make a forever and cherished keepsake. They’re somewhat easy and well-suited for any child to give to their mother this holiday, from babies to teens. (Although the younger the child, the more supervision and assistance they will need.)
If you are a mother reading this, be sure to send this to your partner or your child’s caretaker so they can ensure you receive a thoughtful handmade gift from your child this Mother’s Day!
Plan a party for her and the other special moms in her life—her mom, her sister, her best friend, and, of course, those moms’ children. She’ll adore being surrounded by her closest loved ones.
Give her the Gift of Good Health with a subscription the the Shidonna Raven Garden & Cook eZine. This is yet another gift that gives all year round and might keep her around a little bit longer.
Of course, we can’t forget about the old standby! Treat mom to a gift (see the above Gift Guide we put together for you) that is thoughtful and special. Don’t just buy another robe or sweater, unless you know she really wants one. Consider buying her something that she wouldn’t typically buy for herself or something that she’s been talking about for a while. Has she wanted new tableware? Does she have an empty place on her wall that she has been wanting to fill? Could she use a day to treat herself? Get personal with it!
Give her the gift of Fitness/Excercise (Health) for all those family activities everyone likes to do or mom does in support of the family whether she is rasing kids or bouncing grand kids on her knees.
Get her Fine Art work. Artwork can be passed on from generation to generation. She might enjoy passing this on to grandchildren or children to celebrate and build generational wealth.
Buy her a Heirloom. These gifts can also be gifted to future generations.
