Three Mother's Day crafts you can do with the kids
In case you had a busy week and couldn't get a nice Mother's Day gift for mom, here are some crafts you can do at home...
This one's for the Dads...
No matter how early stores start advertising Mother's Day gifts, someone always manages to leave things for the last minute.
Not ideal when you are trying to make your mother feel super special, don't you think? As much as we sound like we are being Judgey McJudgey here, we have some fun Mother's Day craft ideas that will get you out of the dog box.
Just a point of note, according to CardSnacks (an animated ecards and gift cards app), 87% of mothers will pretend they like your gift even if they don't, so don't stress about getting something extravagant; rather go for something that tugs at the heartstrings.
This handmade keychain is not only personalised but also cost-conscious. Watch how this mother uses an old plastic container to create a keychain.

This first craft only requires paper, paint, glue, straws, and a marker.
Watch as this mother creates a paper bouquet with her kid's hands serving as the flowers. Of course, it is a fun activity to do with the kids, but that doesn't mean mom has to do it, it can easily be done with dad or an elder brother or sister.

We love this one - a beautiful keepsake that is also functional.
This one requires some effort but the outcome is amazing. Mix 1 cup of Baking Soda/ Bicarbonate of Soda, 1/2 cup of corn starch, and 3/4 cup water. Cook this mixture on low heat and you will get a doughy consistency.
Roll it out and get your little one to trace their hand out in the dough.
