Mother's Day is the most tender day of the year — and there's no better way to celebrate it than with a handmade gift crafted by little hands! Simple, quick, and full of love, this craft will bring tears of joy to Mum and great pride to the child.
What You'll Need
- Printed templates (hearts and flowers below)
- One A4 sheet folded in half — preferably thick paper or card
- Scissors (children's, with rounded tips)
- Glue
- Markers, coloured pencils, or tempera paints
- Optional: glitter, heart stickers, a photo of the child
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Print the Templates Download and print the free templates. For a more durable result, print on card or glue the paper onto card before you start.
Step 2 — Decorate Following the lines, cut out the template pieces. For younger children, an adult can help. For children who'd like to, print the black-and-white templates so they can colour them in. Let the child cut out and add the hearts and flowers as well as their name. Every gift is unique!
Step 3 — Assemble the Card Glue the pieces together following the photos. Leave to dry well and get the child ready to give it with a big hug!
Make the Gift Even More Special Add a small card with the message "I love you, Mum!" written by the child themselves. You can also stamp the child's little hand in tempera paint for an irreplaceable keepsake that Mum will treasure forever!
