13 Mother's Day Crafts Ideas for Kids

These thoughtful Mother's Day gifts are perfect for little hands to make. Parents should determine which steps are age-appropriate for kids.

May Flower Cards

Kids' creativity will bloom when they personalize these cards.

What You'll Need: Card stock (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"), ribbon, patterned fabric or paper, buttons, glue, scissors

Make It: Fold your card stock in half to form a card. Cut a piece of ribbon and glue it to the center of the front flap to form the flower's stem. Before the glue dries, cut two leaves out of fabric or paper and glue them on, tucking the ends underneath the ribbon. Cut flower petals from fabric or paper; use three different patterns and cut each shape slightly smaller than the last. (See below for a flower template kids can use.) Once the petals have been layered on top of each other and glued down, add a colorful button on top to form the flower's center.
