Our Mum’s really are special, aren’t they? From helping us learn to walk and talk, to picking us up and dropping us off a gazillion times as teenagers, not to mention the countless loads of washing, all those packed lunches and Sunday roast dinners she’s cooked; our mums will do almost anything for us and because of that, they deserve very special treatment, particularly on Mother’s Day!
Making homemade Mother’s Day cards is a great way to show you care for and appreciate your mum, grandma, auntie or mother-figure. When you create a handmade Mother’s Day Card, you’re not just making a card, you’re making a keepsake she’ll treasure for years to come that’s thoughtful and unique - that’s not something you can buy in a card shop!
We are all guilty of taking our mums for granted a little and not truly appreciating all they do for us until we’re a bit older, that’s why it’s important to try and help children recognise how special their mums are, and to encourage them to express themselves creatively too. So, why not get them to choose their favourite DIY Mother’s Day card to make from our list of ideas for crafty kids! Help them understand at an early age that Mums deserve to be spoiled with Homemade cards - You’ll both enjoy making these fun homemade designs too!
We’ve chosen handmade Mother’s Day cards that are quick and easy to make, and they won’t cost the earth either, as you can pick up most of these supplies at The Works.
