My Top Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids. Actually… when I started it off, it was a list of 10 Mother’s Day Crafts.. and it kind of mushroomed! If you are looking for Mother’s Day Gift Ideas and love crafting with teh kids, I do think you will love this collection of Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids that I have put together for you. There is also a Mother’s Day Crafts for Preschoolers post (which include lost of wonderful hand and footprint keepsakes for mum), that I will be pulling together separately. Ideal for those wee little people in our lives.

The thing with Mother’s Day Gift Ideas, is that (ahem most) Mother’s pretty much love and appreciate ANYTHING their children make. To be honest, a simple card and a drawing is all that mum needs on Mother’s Day… but sometimes you may be tasked with coming up with something a little extra.. whether you are a carer, father, teacher or grandparent in charge of getting “Mother’s Day Sorted”… I hope this list is just the thing you have been looking for! I have tried to also identify some great 5 minute crafts for Mother’s Day, to help you out of any last minute present need pickles!!! Now don’t forget to buy a nice bunch of daffodils and you are all sorted. Enjoy.
