The Kid’s Ultimate Guide to Mother’s Day

Spring has officially sprung, and along with the blossoming flowers and warmer weather, Mother’s Day is now upon us. One of the first Mother’s Day celebrations was celebrated in Ancient Greece thousands of years ago. The United States has now adopted and molded the celebratory tradition into American culture, celebrating Mother’s Day annually on the second Sunday of May. 

As a kid who is most grateful to their mother figures, it can sometimes be hard to come up with the “perfect gift.” But one thing is certain: the gifts mothers love the most come straight from their loved ones’ hearts. 

Crafty Creations

Whether making a creative card that expresses your immense gratitude or creating another medium of art, this craft will undoubtedly be a valuable keepsake for your mother for years. 

A fun way to start is with handprint art! You can trace your hand into a drawn bouquet or stamp your hand onto paper with the paint of your mother’s favorite color. You can decorate it with stickers, little doodles, and a lovely handwritten message.

You can also create a personalized card decorated with glitter, paint, stickers, and anything else you can find! Be sure to include a sweet message and maybe even a silly or punny phrase such as “Olive, you mom!”

Another simple but heartfelt idea is creating a coupon book for your mom, including tickets she can turn in for little prizes. For example, some ideas may include “a free hug” or “movie night of your choice.”

Photo Montage

Something else filled with memories that a mother would enjoy is a photo montage! This could be done in a physical manner or even virtually.

You could compile a scrapbook of memories conveyed through photos and other decorations or use a modge-podge to create and frame a unique craft of photos you have put together. 

You could create an online scrapbook or a video montage of past memories, photos, and videos virtually. Many apps allow you to compile photos into a video, and you could always add one of your mother’s favorite songs to the background!

Creative Cooking

Another way to make Mother’s Day memorable is to prepare a special meal or treat for your mother. Whether preparing breakfast in bed, a picnic lunch, or a sweet dessert, getting creative in the kitchen will surely bring your mother loads of delight. 

There’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of an excellent, home-cooked breakfast and having it delivered straight to your bed. Whipping up pancakes and eggs is simple for a kid, and the mother will most definitely love the treat!

You could always find a blanket, pack a picnic basket with your mom's favorite sandwich, snacks, and drinks, and set up the backyard for a beautiful outdoor meal, basking in the sunshine!

Lastly, baking your mother a sweet treat would surely bring her a ton of happiness! If you deliver her some homemade cookies or a fresh-baked cake, that would surely make her day!
