Mother’s Day is so powerfully meaningful on so many levels. It’s a day to celebrate being a mom and all that we do, but also a day to cherish all the little ones that mean so much to you. For Mother’s Day, I’m not huge on gifts, as much as I am about spending the day reflecting on what it means to be a mom and appreciating all the lessons it teaches me. However, I do love anything handmade from my children! Here are 12 lovely ways to get kids involved in making a lovely gift for mom. Many of these gifts are as useful and functional as they are sweet and memorable.
Geometric Decoupage Vases (via Crafts By Amanda) Place those Mother’s Day bouquets in these lovely decoupage vases kids can make that also add a pretty spring accent to your home.
Etched Wooden Spoons (via Delia Creates) If you’re lucky to have an etcher nearby, you can have kids create fun and quirky designs on wooden spoons for an artistic handmade gift.
