A child-made gift is a wonderful way to share the love this Mother's Day. Without further ado, here are eight amazing mothers day gifts that children can make (with the help of a dad or partner) to show Mum how much they care.
8 Mothers Day Gifts to Show Mum Some Love
Colourful greeting card
This is one of the most straightforward and easy-to-make mother's day gifts. With cupcake case 'petals', button 'pollen' and a stem drawn with crayon, this card says it with flowers – 'Happy Mother's Day'.
Poetic flower pot
Take a paper cup and decorate it with squares of coloured tissue paper. Once it's dry, fill the 'flower pot' with soil and plant a seed in it. Then stick this poem to the side: I am still small, like a seed in the ground, but because of your love, I soon will be found. Growing up strong, and beautiful too, from all the love I've gotten from you. Words full of love are the ultimate gift, and mums will surely love this.
Wool-wrapped heart
Once a grown-up has cut out the cardboard heart border, it's over to the preschooler to paint it red and wrap colourful wool around and around. This is a great fine motor skills activity and among the best mother's day gifts as well.
Celery-stamped roses
To make Mum a pretty card (or tea towel), just dip a celery stalk in pink paint and stamp! With some green leaves added on, this craft idea will come up as roses which are symbolic of a mother's love.
Magic mirror
A great mothers day gift, mums will live happily ever after with this cute keepsake. Cut some paper into the shape of a hand-held mirror, then stick the child's self-portrait into the frame. At the top, add a tag that says, 'Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the best Mum of them all?' Here's looking at you kid!
Kid-made Mother's Day book
This is one of the awesome gifts she'll love and will make mum happy. Containing hand-drawn illustrations and all the things they love about Mum, this publication has a personal touch. And whether kids use this blank template or design their own pages, it's a little book of love.
Kandinsky-inspired heart art
Incorporating colour-mixing and heart-felt creativity, this watercolour painting is a beautiful project for junior artists and a perfect gift for mother's day.
Superhero figurine
Go all out and give mum one of the best gifts. With a cardboard cape, paper mask, woolly hair and 'Mum is my hero!' tag, kids can make a little supermum to match their big one.
