Mother's Day Gift & Party Ideas

​

Mom's will love anything their loved ones make. I especially enjoyed giving personalized gifts that they can look back on and reminisce about how young their children once were.

Some of my favorite gifts to give are hand print crafts, or photo albums that contain childcare photos of their children from the year. In addition to gift ideas, you will find a selection of Gift and Classroom Party Ideas perfect ​for your childcare or preschool program! 

Gifts for Mom's

Here are a few ideas shared from our community members:

Supply materials for children to create a
diamond necklace for their mom. 

Use hand prints and footprints to create a flower on canvas, add the caption Thank You for Helping Me Grow

Give children stickers to spell MOM, encourage them to place on a pot and then provide sharpie paint pens for them to draw around the stickers. 

Create a piece of art for moms using a picture of their kiddo cut out in a circle for the O , encourage children to use craft sticks to create the M's and add hand prints at the bottom along with a poem. 

Ashtynn A. had her kids kids complete the Mom survey found inside our Mother's Day Activity Pack

Patti H. made this personalized liquid soap "thanking the Parents for letting their kids get dirty & have fun!"

Lori C bought these mugs at the dollar store. The children traced their hands, and colored them in. She baked them, and added some flowers inside, along with a sweet photo.

Our friends at Erica's Educare Learning Center made Mother's Day bookmarks for Mom using the bookmark templates found inside our Mother's Day Activity Pack.
