Maybe you’ve seen the meme that reminds dads that your kids’ teachers won’t be sending the kids home with homemade Mother’s Day crafts this year? Well, we’re here to help!
Here are a dozen or so crafts that you can make for the mom in the house with minimal supplies and a little art time with the kids to create fun and memorable keepsakes for moms.
Flowers for Mom
Check out these fun, 3D flower crafts.
Paper Tulip Card
This is a simple card to make, using only construction paper, scissors and glue, but it delivers a nice 3D punch!
Felt Flowers
Felt, buttons, wooden dowels or straws, and an unusued flowerpot, and you’ve got a cute desk decoration for mom’s new home office!
Flower Bowl
Print out some pretty flowers and glue them over a plastic wrapped bowl for a great knick-knack for mom’s rings or earrings!
Cupcake Liner Card
Pantry staples can double as craft supplies when they look like flowers! Use cupcake liners, a few buttons and markers to make a simple but thoughtful card for mom.
Craft Stick Projects
Whether they’re former popsicle sticks or wider craft sticks from the store, these wooden workhorses are where it’s at when it comes to kids crafts. Make picture frames, flower stems and even earring holders for moms.
Craft stick Flower Pot
An empty can, some colorful craft sticks and a glue gun, and you’ve got a lovely planter for mom to enjoy. Fill it with something as lovely as she is!
Earring Holder
This simple, yet adorable craft is perfect for a little one who loves watching mom get ready for her day or evening out!
Photo Frames
There is no shortage of fun photo frames to be made from craft sticks online. We like this one for its simplicity. Frames are easy to make and can be jazzed up with any type of beads, buttons or shiny things the kids can find around the house. If you don’t have a printed photo to use of the kids at the moment, have them draw a self-portrait, or picture of Mom’s favorite flowers.

Nothing says Mother’s Day like handprint crafts. Here are some easy ones to make with just a few things on hand.
