Would Mom enjoy a gift card for a spa day or that leather laptop bag she’s been coveting for months this Mother’s Day? Of course! However, if you poll a group of mothers about receiving a homemade gift from their child, the majority would likely cherish it. The same sentiment applies to your Mother’s Day plans. While it’s perfectly fine (and healthy) to desire some time away from your kids, you might prefer to spend quality time with them on this special holiday. If that resonates with your plans this year, consider diving into Mother’s Day crafts.
If you’re looking for last-minute crafting inspiration that kids will love making as much as mothers—or any guardian—will appreciate receiving, TikTok has you covered. Specifically, the creativity of educators on TikTok is a treasure trove. To quote a famous poet, how do we adore thee, teachers of TikTok? Let’s count the ways! Every parent should be following #TeachersofTikTok for these delightful, inclusive crafts that make perfect holiday activities.
- Tile Art Treasures
This adorable craft from Creative Kids involves using permanent markers to write a Mother’s Day message on unglazed tiles, followed by a layer of Mod Podge to protect the artwork for years to come (or at least until the next spring cleaning). - Shrinkable Handprint
Andrea Nelson of Dreamy Crafts shares a fabulous idea using shrinky dink paper, paint, and permanent markers to create a keepsake that will make any parent smile. Simple to make, this craft is both fun and memorable. - String of Love
For families with limited resources, Hailey Lynn of Family Fun Crafts offers a heartfelt project using string or yarn, construction paper, and a sweet poem. Just pop it all in an envelope and you’re ready to go! - Handprint Jar
Happy Toddler Playtime presents a charming handprint mason jar. You’ll need contact paper to trace your child’s hand, a mason jar, paint for decoration, and a tea light to illuminate the love within. - Creative Mirror
With some construction paper, aluminum foil, and a sprinkle of imagination, kids can craft a “mirror” that reflects the world’s most amazing mom (hint: that’s you!). Resources for this craft are available through Classroom by Jessica. - Thumbprint Butterfly Pot
Katie Wyllie of Kid’s Art Studio offers a whimsical take on Mother’s Day flowerpots using thumbprints to create butterfly wings. Sweetened up with Dove chocolates, this craft is sure to delight! - Simple Flower Painting
Teacher Julie Davis emphasizes that kindergarten crafts should be easy and vibrant. This flower painting project requires an adult’s help to outline, but kids can paint to their hearts’ content. - Berry Handprint
Learning With Kelsey’s version of the classic handprint craft involves turning a child’s hand into a strawberry, complete with seeds painted on with a finger. The message “I love you berry much” is simply irresistible. - Shrinkable Letter
Another fantastic shrinky dink idea from Maria Almaraz, this craft allows children to create a mini letter on shrinky dink paper, which can be carried as a heartfelt note wherever you go. - Handprint Frame
Follow @falling_into_kinder to make this easy DIY project. Children can press their painted handprints inside a picture frame and add patterned paper behind it for a lovely display.
