If you don’t take every day of the year to celebrate your mother, now’s the time to start thinking about how you can show your appreciation for your mom at least this one day of the year. If you’re stuck with how to show mom you care, here are a few of our favorite Mother’s Day craft ideas:

Mother’s Day Cards: Nothing says ‘I love you, mom’ more than a homemade card. A colored picture makes a great card, but if you’re looking to get a little more creative, try one of these:

Crumple Art: Grab some tissue paper and glue and craft creative designs by crumpling small pieces of tissue paper into balls and strategically gluing them in a pattern. You can make flowers, butterflies, hearts, etc.

Pop-Out Art: How can you take a traditional drawing up a notch? By literally taking it up a notch and into another dimension. To make a 3D card, grab some card stock, fold it in half, and cut two adjacent parallel slits in the paper along the fold, where the chunk in the middle is the size of the pop-out you want inside the card. Then, open the card, and pop the tab through to the inside of the card. Have your child color and cut something to go on the inside pop out, and glue it onto the small platform you created. To get even fancier, you can add pop-outs to the outside of the card as well. Using an accordion technique, fold thin pieces of construction paper back and forth until you have an accordion that fits the length of which you’d like the pop-out to reach. Glue accordion to the card and attach what you want to pop-out to the other end.

Magazine Collage Card: Have your child look through magazines to find things that remind them of their mom. Have them cut them out and arrange them as a collage on the outside of the card and write inside the card why those things remind them of their mom.

Other Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Homemade Mother’s Day Cards are great, but chances are, mom deserves something else too! Here are a few other Mother’s Day gift ideas that she’ll love.

Breakfast in Bed: What mother wouldn’t like to receive breakfast in bed? Have dad help, and make mom a delicious breakfast in bed. For that kid’s touch, make these Whole Wheat Smiley Face Pancakes.

Plant Flowers: Buying mom a bouquet of flowers is traditional, so why not kick things into high gear and buy a plant you can actually plant for her? With Spring in full bloom, they’ll last well beyond the bouquet you could buy from the store! If mom loves to garden, buy the plants and have the kids help plant them. Then, it becomes a family activity!

Mom Coupons: Who says the love has to end on Mother’s Day? Make mom some “Mom Coupons” that allows her breakfast in bed another day when she wants it or unlimited hugs for the day. Fill in your own gifts for mom on these.
