A Mother’s Day craft handwritten by your child is something special to keep and look back on with fond memories, especially those precious first years when your child is just learning how to write.
Just like handprint Mother’s Day crafts, handwritten notes are just the sweetest thing.
I have to admit, I LOVE the little kid phonetic spellings that you get when children are just learning how to write. They are so funny and adorable.
Printable Flower Mother’s Day Craft
Flowers are one of the most popular themes for Mother’s Day crafts, once we’re grown we might be picking out the best flowers to buy for mom on Mother’s Day, but when kids are little the best flowers to give are something hand made.
This printable flower craft for Mother’s Day comes with nine pages included which you can mix and match to put together the perfect personalised craft, all about Mom.
You can even use the blank templates to adapt this craft for other holidays, or other relatives like Dad or Grandma. The possibilities are endless.
Mom might also love some beautiful handmade flower crafts like these bubble paint flowers, or read some mothers day books for preschoolers so even the littlest kids can understand and appreciate what’s so special about moms!
Printable Flower Template for Mother’s Day Craft
Here is the blank flower template page. You can use this page for a simpler version of the craft without cutting and sticking, or you can use it as a coloring page to decorate for mom.
Flower Stem and Leaves Template
The below template has the leaves and the stem of the flower, to use as a base as your child cuts out the flower petals and glues them onto this page.
As this is another black and white template, kids can color the stem and leaves themselves, which is great for fine motor skills and adds a more personal touch.
Full Color Flower Template
If you’re working with younger kids, or are short on time, a full color template may be the easier option.
Toddlers can use this colorful ready made flower stem, and glue down their own flower petals to create a beautiful flower craft for mom, made by their own little hands.
The Center of the Flower
The center of the flower is where you write the theme of the writing activity.
This printable page has a few different versions and ideas included and you also have space to make up your own.
Included are
- I love my mom because…
- My mom is…
- 5 things I love about Mom…
- Mom’s favorite things to do
- I love my grandma because…
- My grandma is…
- 5 things I love about grandma…
- Grandma’s favorite things to do…
Using the grandma versions, this printable writing craft can also be used to celebrate the grandparents bond on grandparents day. However, some families choose to celebrate both Mom and Grandma on Mother’s Day since they are both Mothers in the family.
Colorful Flower Petals to Cut and Stick
This pack comes with three different color options, and a black and white version for kids to choose their own style.
You can choose the pink petals, yellow petals or green petals, or have the kids use a mixture to make each child’s flower truly unique.
On each petal, the children should write one thing to connect with the topic that has been written in the middle of the flower.
For example, write one of Mom’s favorite things to do on each flower petal.
Or write one special reason to love mom on each petal of the flower.
The end result is a super cute and heartfelt Mother’s Day craft that any mommy would love to receive and cherish!
This Mother’s Day activity is great to use in the classroom, and makes a perfect Mother’s Day worksheet to complete with Kindergarten or reception child in school and send home for Mother’s Day.
