Mothers Day Crafts

I think we can all agree that one day a year is not enough to celebrate moms. Whether you’re a mother yourself, or taking the time to celebrate the mothers in your life, there are plenty of fun ways to pay tribute. Here are some creative ideas for little ones!

Crayon Candles: It requires some help from an adult, but all you need is wax, wicks, old crayons and containers. It’s a great way to use up some of those broken crayon pieces at the bottom of your drawer, and choose colors that mom will like! Here’s the link: https://www.thepinningmama.com/diy-crayon-candles/

3D Tea Cup Cards: These are adorable to step-up the usual decorated card and make it 3D. Materials needed: 1 blank card, construction paper, 1 cut up egg carton, pipe cleaner, tea bag and glue.

Button Bookmarks: All you need are some popsicle sticks, buttons, foam and glue. If you want to add more color to the popsicle sticks, you can paint them. Once dry, cut the foam (thick paper) into petals, glue a button for the middle of the flower going at one end with petals surrounding. Then glue some buttons as decor along the popsicle stick.

Thumb Platter: Add a personalized touch to a platter dish with paint and carefully stamped thumbs. https://oldsaltfarm.com/heart-thumbprint-platter/?ref=pcrorganicgglunkwn&prid=pcseogglunkwn
