Since Mother’s Day is coming up soon, I thought I’d put together some ideas for Mother’s Day gifts kids can make for mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other mother figures in their lives.

Handmade gifts that aren’t too complicated and that we still have time to make.

Some of these children can make or do on their own (depending on their age), some might be more of a collaborative effort with a grown-up.

Here goes!

15 Handmade Mothers Day Gift Ideas

1. Gift the gift of art. How about a painted canvas? Or glue art on canvas?

2. Decorate a set of plain white napkins with glue batik.

3. Fill a jar with wish stones. Use Sharpie markers to write special words and wishes for the recipient on small rocks. Start with melted crayon rocks or just do it on naturally beautiful stones.

4. Whip up a couple of hot/cold comfort pillows and eye pillows. Use Sharpie tie dye first to decorate the fabric if you like.

5. Make a flower crown (Queen for the day!).

6. Transfer a child’s drawing onto a T-shirt.

7. Make a melted bead suncatcher in an embroidery hoop frame.

8. Whip up a batch of homemade doughnuts or some heart cookies.

9. Make a shaving cream marbled notebook (or three).

10. String dyed pasta into necklaces.

11. Make a plaster heart paperweight. Leave as is or decorate with paint.

12. Create a contact paper suncatcher with flower petals.

13. A “map of my heart” painting (a wonderful keepsake!)

14. Make a set of tissue paper candle holders.

15. Decorate a plain white pillow with Sharpie marker drawings.
