1. Mother’s Day Pebble Rock Art
Create a family portrait out of various treasures found in nature. First, have kids forage for rocks, branches, and other pretty items from outside. Next, hot glue a small tree branch horizontally to the bottom of a white piece of paper. Have kids arrange an assortment of pebbles in the shape of each family member (don’t forget the pets), then line them up on the branch. Then, hot glue the stones onto the paper in addition to any other objects from outside. Once finished, frame the portrait and surprise mom with a literal family tree.

3. Mother’s Day Paper Flower Bouquet
Give mom a bouquet that she can treasure forever. First, cut out paper circles using different colors of construction paper. Next, fold each circle in half, forming a semi-circle. Fold the paper in half two more times, then make minor, triangular cuts on the rounded edge using a pair of scissors. Unfold the paper and make a larger cut with each unraveling. Once completely unrolled, poke a hole in the center of the paper. Repeat this process with multiple paper circles of the same color. Then, tightly roll a rectangular piece of green paper from one corner to the other to form a stem. Slip the paper stem through the center of each cut circle, layering them on one another to create a beautiful carnation in full bloom.
4. Mother’s Day Message Box
This Mother’s Day gift is simple but oh so sweet! Start by having kids decorate a small takeout or paper gift box. Next, have them write encouraging notes on little, colorful strips of paper and stuff them in the box. Whenever mom needs an extra mood boost, she can read from her box of positive messages made by the people she loves more than anything.
5. Mother’s Day DIY Room Service Card
Give mom the 5-star experience with this DIY room service menu card. The filmer begins by cutting out a template of a hotel door hanger with the words “Room Service For Mom” printed at the top. Beneath the card’s handle are rows of lines where kids can write down various menu items. Then, mom can check off which food she’d like to order via the boxes next to each line for a relaxing breakfast in bed.
