Mother’s Day Gifts Kids Can Make:
Make sure you help your kids here in order to guide them through the steps mentioned below. Happy crafting!!
1. Hand/ Footprint paintings
Did we realize that fingerprints are not just for human identification purpose, but also to make such pretty beautiful personalized art for gifting.
Things you will need to make this easy mother’s day craft:
- A paper/ cloth (could be a mono colored handkerchief, a bag, or a pillow cover)
- Sketch pen/ crayons to draw borders/ write
- Fabric paint.
– Make sure to use a color which would stand out and contrast the base color of the paper/ cloth. For example the best suited is white base with any vibrant color like red, pink, green or yellow.
Steps:
- Take a brush and apply the paint evenly on your palm/ foot depending on the design you pick.
- Do not let it dry too much as the imprint will look wretched. Once the paint has been applied evenly, gently place your hand/ foot on the base material – paper or cloth.
- Wait for about 10 seconds while pressing it evenly from all ends.
- Remove your hand/ foot to see a beautiful art.
- Wash/ wipe the paint off clean with warm water.
- Apply another color and continue the process to complete the art.
You can always add any lovely quotes if needed for the background of this art or a corner. Also, you can combine the prints of your siblings in the same art for an added emotional touch. Last but not the least, do not forget to have your pretty signature at the bottom corner to let her know this personalized gift was made by you. Isn’t this a brilliant simple mother’s day craft for the special lady?
2. Superhero mom
This bit is surely going to catch your attention because the first word that comes to the mind when you say “mother” is — superheroes of our lives. Isn’t it? Well, let me tell you another quick (trust me on this) and a very creative easy mother’s day craft. Everybody is a fan of the yummy Hershey’s chocolate bar (R) even although mothers do not let us eat it as much fearing the tooth decay. It’s time we grab a couple of them to make this simple mother’s day craft.
Things you will need to make this easy mother’s day craft:
- Hershey’s/ any chocolate bar wrapper
- Some wool strands
- Chart paper
- Sketch Pens
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Glue
Steps:
- Make a circular shape with the cardboard about 2 inches radius and cut. Make sure it looks proportionate to the size of the bar wrapper you are using.
- Paste this circular shape cardboard cut piece with a glue on top of one of the widths of the chocolate wrapper so as to make the length of the wrapper look like the torso/body of the person and the circular cardboard as the face.
- Now, cut the chart paper in a rectangular shape about the same length of the chocolate wrapper but 3 inches about wider.
- Wrap this cur chart paper to make it look like a cape from the back.
- Take wool strands to stick it from the top mid-edge of the circle to get the feel of hair. You can give various hairstyles here (with fringes, long, short or braids etc.).
- Your model is almost done with just the detailing left out. So now you make eyes, nose and a smiling lip in the circular cardboard face area. Add a domino mask to make it look like a superhero with a bright color.
This is one of the cutest mother’s day gifts kids can make to impress their moms. You can make multiple of this type to show your mom yourself and dad or sibling with a change in length and hairstyle in it. A very good way to display it is by sticking it to the walls or stick a magnet on the back and fix it on the fridge.
