Mother's Day

Mother's Day is May 12 this year! If you need gift, activity, or food ideas, check out the links below!

FOOD:

• Bake Mom A Cake
• Caramels. These are are really easy to make and the kids can even help (pour ingredients into a bowl, stir, etc.) They are really tasty too! (They were gone within a few days at our house.)
• Egg Casserole. This is another easy recipe. It would make a great item to make for Mom on Mother's Day.

CRAFTS/GIFTS/ACTIVITIES:

• 112 Mother's Day Gift Ideas
• Make Mom a unique necklace. I recently had a necklace made from Kidz Can Design. Your children draw a picture, you upload it to the site, and they make a necklace from the drawing. Each of my boys drew a picture of themselves for me. NOTE: This process takes awhile, so it will not arrive in time for Mother's Day, but you can show Mom the pictures they drew and the website. I placed my order on 3/26 and received the necklace on 4/27.

• Mother's Day Word Scramble
• Make Mom A Card
• Mother's Day Word Find
• Paint Pottery with Mom

• Clay Basket Gift Bags. I originally made these for Easter. However, if you use paper with a pretty pattern or a flower pattern, they would make great gift baskets/bags for Mother's Day.
• Mother's Day Crossword Puzzle
• Make Mom A Frame
• Handprint Frame
