What better way to make someone feel special than with a homemade gift? So, to make things simple, we have gathered some of our favorite Mother’s Day crafts and activities to help celebrate the occasion.

Kid-made gifts are one of a kind and so meaningful. Gifts from the heart are truly so special and your little one will have tons of fun in the process – we hope you enjoy these ideas just as much as we do!

Washi tape vase

What a great way to build fine motor skills while making an adorable Mother’s Day vase! We just love this creative gift idea from Meri Cherry.

Mother’s Day mason jar votive

We also love this fun mason jar votive holder from I Heart Arts and Crafts. It is simply adorable and would make the perfect keepsake!

Homemade Mother’s Day card

Instead of buying a generic card, why not involve your kids and expand their creativity by making a personalized tissue paper flower card like the one we found from Buggy and Buddy. Build those pre-writing skills as kids make a card for that special mom in their lives!

Watercolor bookmark

Kids can put their own spin on this adorable watercolor bookmark idea from Craftberry Bush. Pair it with a book and you have a lovely Mother’s Day gift!

DIY gift wrap

Add an extra special touch to your Mother’s Day gift with a homemade gift wrap. We love these homemade gift wrap ideas from Happy Hooligans. You can also repurpose existing artwork into unique wrapping paper.

Classroom inspiration

If you are looking for ways to celebrate Mother’s Day in your classroom, then we also have some wonderful ideas of our own to share with you as well. Find inspiration for your upcoming celebration and ways to involve your kids in the planning and preparation right here on our Teach Preschool blog!

One last thing… be sure to give that special mom in your life a BIG hug (even if it is a virtual hug) just to let her know just how much she means! Those hugs coupled with a handmade gift will mean the absolute world and will make any mom feel extra loved.

Celebrating mother’s day in the preschool classroom

Deborah J Stewart

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
