Mothers Day Kids Crafts

These Mother’s Day craft ideas are gifts kids can make to give their mothers on Mother’s Day.

My absolute favorite gift to receive on Mother’s Day is something my kids made for me. Is it because I’m a crafter? Who knows. But I just love a handmade gift. I love seeing my little kiddos’ handwriting and art and happy creations. They are always my favorite gift to receive.

If you’re a school teacher or dad or anyone looking for a gift to help a child make for their mother or grandmother, here are some of my favorite ideas for Mother’s Day crafts kids can make.

1. Handprint Apron – Is there anything cuter than a child’s handprint? And this way it’s a practical gift that can be used often.
