Have your kiddos decorate the pages however they want to show mom their true creative side.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the questions have been answered and the glue is dry, place the papers on top of one another and staple the booklet together. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another fun add on to this craft would be to add a section of \u201cMy favorite things about mom\u201d here are some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

Moms (and dads) work so hard to provide well for their families and also keep their homes safe and clean. For kids that are a little bit older, this chore bucket craft is a great gift to mom for Mother\u2019s Day! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple! Make a list of chores that your mom does around the house often or asks for help on.<\/span><\/p>\n

On each popsicle stick, use your marker to write a chore out. You can write each chose to write each chore one time, or if you are feeling generous you can write multiple sticks with the same chore. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Mother\u2019s Day, give your mom the jar and let her know that when she is feeling overwhelmed or needs help, she can draw a stick from the jar and you will help. You can tell her to throw away the sticks for a single use, or be put back in so that you can help over and over again! While this may not be a child\u2019s favorite gift, it will definitely help mom and dad out!<\/span><\/p>\n

Custom Clay Flower Pots<\/b><\/p>\n

Adding in the flowers or seeds can be a fun way to also add in a lesson about responsibility for your children. Reminding them to water them and watch their growth can be a fun and daily activity that continues after Mother\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like the clay pots, this is another craft where you can sit back and let your child\u2019s imagination run wild.
