Mother's Day Is This Weekend!

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 14th! If you are running a little behind like I am, I have some gift/craft/food/fun/freebie ideas below! Just click on the links for the recipes or directions :) 

CRAFTS/GIFTS:

• 114 Mother's Day Gift Ideas
• Handprint Frame
• Easy Clay Pot Basket. This one was originally for Easter, but it works great at holding small gifts for Mom too!
• Homemade Card
• Make A Frame
• Family Photo Session
• Easy Flowers. Made from markers, water, and coffee filters!
• Paint Pottery
• Flower Magnets
• Homemade Planter. Use a soup can and decorate to make a flower planter!
• Easy Mother's Day Card. You could also lightly paint a hand and make a handprint card.
• Hand Print Wreath. We made this for the fall, but change the colors to pinks, purples, or Mom's favorite colors and it works great for Mother's Day. You could also change it to a bouquet of hand print flowers by attaching to dowel rods or skewers (hot glue, tape, etc. on the back of the paper/foam sheet hand print cut-outs).
• Recycle a can into a cute planter!
• Lowe's offers free kids workshops, with themed gifts around Mother's and Father's Day.
