Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids
As a former teacher, I always loved getting my students to put together a cute, handmade Mother’s Day gift for their moms. Not only did they love the activity, but I loved getting to see the fun they had while they made a special gift to celebrate their moms! It’s so fun to be a part of a memory frozen in time. And as a mom myself, I can only imagine the joy that receiving those crafts brought to the moms of my students at home!
Since my love of teaching and all things arts and crafts lives on, I wanted to gather all of the best Mother’s Day craft ideas — specifically, Mother’s Day crafts for preschoolers and elementary students, because I worked with younger students when I was a teacher! From a hand print that will one day get larger, to a cute little face that will one day evolve, to a sweet little message that can be read over and over, every single one of these Mother’s Day arts and crafts activities for kids is sure to put a huge smile on Mom’s face. When I think back on my favorite Mother’s Day gifts from my own kids, they were all the handmade works of art that they made in school. There’s just nothing better than knowing they worked hard on an adorable gift for their mom!

If you want the best mothers’ day gift I ever received (and with 5 kids, a lot of years, years of teaching and even more years of creating Pinterest I feel qualified to tell…), my kids made me this beaded wire rock picture frame. It was the cutest Preschool Mother’s Day Craft ever!
Supplies include: Acrylic Paint, a Thick Wire (1MM – 2.5MM is a great size) and Large Hole Plastic Beads. No photographed, i personally added a mini clothespin to help keep the photo in place.
