Mother's Day Crafts for Kids

Little artists can use markers and our "Mom, I love you because ..." flower clip art to create sweet sentiments on a colorful tote bag.

Kids can put a personal spin on their cards to Mom by attaching a special photo to string.

Handcrafted end pages featuring kid drawings transform basic journals into keepsakes for Mom. 

A journal of any size will work. Measure the book's original endpaper, then cut your little crafter's picture so that it's slightly wider to accommodate the fold. Next, use a paintbrush to apply white glue evenly over the endpaper. Lay artwork over the glued area and press, starting at the center and working out. Wipe off any excess glue; trim the edges with a utility knife if needed. Close the journal and stack heavy books on top. Let dry overnight.

With just a few stamps, kids can add a personal touch to a gift of good reads for Mom. While you hold the pages together, have kids use rubber stamps to decorate the edges with a special design or message.

Use our coupons to create a book of promises and activities the family can enjoy with Mom. Have kids fill in the blanks in our clip-art designs.

These playful covers can make Mom's most mundane tasks more pleasant. Using a clear passport cover or clear checkbook sleeve as a template, trace over the child's artwork. Cut out, and slip artwork inside the sleeve.

By using scrapbooking techniques, craft punches, and a memorable photograph, you and the kids can create these clever, one-of-a-kind Mother's Day cards.

Kids can make fun, floral stamps with a pencil eraser. 

Press the eraser into an ink pad, and stamp polka dots onto a Mother's Day card. An adult can also cut the eraser with a utility knife to create different looks. We stamped colored kraft paper and blank card stock, and added stems to the flowers with a green pencil.

Decorate canvas bags or eyeglass cases for Mom with your child's hand-drawn masterpieces. 

It's quick and simple to do with iron-on transfer paper (available at crafts stores) that fits through any ink-jet printer. Print a drawing onto the paper, trim out the design, and then use a dry iron to transfer the image to clean canvas according to the instructions on the package.
