Mother’s Day is quickly approaching, and it’s the day we take a few moments to show appreciation for the maternal figures in our lives. If you have a young child in the home, this is an excellent time of year to teach them appreciation and gratitude and help them channel their inner creativity by baking some DIY Mother’s Day gifts. There’s a good chance that your child is already homing their motor skills and cognitive functions, which is a great way to sharpen them further.
These gift ideas are great for Mother’s Day or any other time of year.
DIY Greeting Cards
These are easy to make, and your child will have a chance to be as creative as possible. All you need is some folded construction paper and some decorative materials. One way you can really personalize the card is by making heart designs from your child’s fingerprints. This will be fun and commemorate your child’s age forever.
DIY Flower Decor
Flowers are a universal gift idea that is great for just about any occasion. You can make their presentation more special by getting your child to make some special storage containers for them. You don’t need anything too elaborate; a simple paper bag decorated with unique designs can be a great way to commemorate this special day.
DIY Photo Collage
Here’s a chance for your child to be creative and get a unique art history lesson at the same time. Collage is taking images and other pre-existing properties and creating new artworks. Like many other parents, you’ve probably spent a fair amount of time documenting your child growing up with many photos. You and your child can pick out the ones they like best and create a tapestry of the moments you cherish.
DIY Ladybugs
Ladybugs have long been a favorite of children everywhere. These are easy to make and serve as endearing indoor and outdoor decorations. Making them requires very few materials, just a few smoothed rocks, some black and red paint, and some room for your child’s imagination to grow.
DIY Candle Projects
One of the great things about candles is their soft composition; various shoes make them great for various projects. You can personalize them with ribbons and paint and even get creative with a mason jar to make a decorative holder for them to sit in.
