These 10 Mess-Free Mother’s Day Gifts Are So Easy For Kids To Make!

So you want to have your kids make a cute craft for your mom for Mother’s Day. But you’re scared of the stress and the associated mess that comes from doing crafts with your kids. Yikes.

  • DIY Garden Markers
  • Printable Mother’s Day Book

  • Pressed Flower Bookmark
  • Mommy/Grandma Survival Kit
  • Handmade You Are My Sunshine Card
  • String Heart Mother’s Day card

  • “Shhh Mommy’s Sleeping” door hanger

I totally understand. That’s why  I created this list of crafts your kids can make that are easy and (hopefully) mess free. But can anything with kids really be mess free? I’m not really sure. So here are some of my favorite “mess free” crafts that your kids can make for Mother’s Day.

Teacup Planter

Ok, so this idea is the cutest! I love the idea of using a teacup as an alternative to using a classic pot. This project would be simple and inexpensive. All you would need to do is head out to your local thrift store with you kids and let them choose out a teacup. Then let them choose a simple flower (i.e geranium, herbs, etc) to plant in the teacup. Check out this blog post here for more detailed instructions for this project!

Also check out this website that has more info on how to drill a hole in the bottom of your teacup to ensure proper drainage!

DIY Garden Markers

I love these simple garden markers! You could have your kids paint each of the spoons and then if they’re old enough have them draw each of the different vegetables.

 

Or if you’re going for an even simpler idea try these garden markers made with popsicle sticks. These markers are so easy, but super cute and fun!

And if you just want to avoid paint altogether (I know, it’s messy) you could make garden markers from rocks! Just head out to the backyard, pick out some rocks that are (fairly) flat on one side and have your kids write plant names on the rocks using a white paint marker. This is as easy as it gets folks and it looks really cute! There are some pictures here of some rock garden markers to give you ideas.

Printable Mother’s Day Book

 

This next idea is adorable. And it’s easy. Which is the best combination. It’s a printable Mother’s Day book! All you have to do is download the free pdf, print it off and have your kids fill in the blanks and draw pictures in the book. Here’s the link with more detailed instructions and the pdf (https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/KID-MADE-FREE-PRINTABLE-MOTHER—-S-DAY-BOOK/)

 

Garden Stepping Stones

I love garden stepping stones. I think they are so fun and add a nice touch to any garden. So these simple garden stones you can make with your kids are perfect! You just need quick dry cement, glass stones from the dollar store, and cereal boxes. You use the cereal boxes as the mold for the cement and then have your kids decorate each of the stones. Check out the full tutorial here  Disclaimer: I recommend you don’t let your kids pour the cement into the mold…that’s just asking for trouble and a huge mess.

 

Pressed Flower Bookmark

I love this cute pressed flower bookmark. It’s a great excuse to go out in nature and explore with your kids and it’s an easy craft for a Mother’s Day gift.

 

Mommy/Grandma Survival Kit

This  DIY Mommy/Grandma Survival Kit is an easy and fun gift for your kids to make. It’s just a mason jar filled with fun things any mom or grandma would need. You could let your kids choose what they want to fill the jar with and then have them decorate the jar how they want to.

 

Handmade You Are My Sunshine Card

Handmade cards are the best. Kids say the funniest things and I always get a laugh anytime my kids write me a card. This handmade card just requires some googly eyes, cardstock, and a cupcake liner.

String Heart Mother’s Day card

So I think Mother’s Day cards are the best. So here’s another one. This String Heart Mother’s Day card is simple and mess free!

 

DIY Flower Pens

Ok, so this one is a classic. So take advantage of how easy this gift is! All you need are some fake flowers, floral tape, and a pen. Basically all you need to do is glue the fake flower to the pen and then wrap the pen with floral tape! Check out this tutorial for more detailed instructions.

 

“Shhh Mommy’s Sleeping” door hanger

And last but not least a “Shhh Mommy’s Sleeping” door hanger. I need this. I’m probably going to have my kids make this for me tomorrow because it’s awesome. This door hanger is a super easy craft your kids can make to remind them not to disturb mom while she’s taking a nap. You’re welcome ladies.

  • Well, whatever plague my daughter has had this week (She had to go to the doctor for the 3rd time in 2 weeks yesterday), I've now got it too. I couldn't even get up last night to put my ducks away - Larry had to do it.
.
Honestly, as long as they get fed, I'm pretty sure my ducks are fine not seeing me for a day.
.
If ever there was a case for homeschooling (which I'm not patient enough to do), the 3 billion communicable diseases children pick up at school is it.
  • We've been restocking my Amazon store this week (link in profile), which is a bit of an overwhelming process. So, I'm having a hard time remembering what day it is - I thought it was Saturday for some reason!
.
The chickens enjoyed a whole day without rain - they played outside, fought with the ducks, flew up on their swings, and more.
.
It was also warm yesterday, which gave them more reason to be joyful. If it's warm out again today, I might try to get some good photos of my bantam cochin hen wearing her tutu.
.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again - I love this breed because they're like the toy poodles of the backyard chicken world. I can't wait until May when my chicks arrive! I want a whole flock of bantam cochins!
  • It poured here AGAIN. I slept through it, but apparently, the wind blew from one direction while the rain blew from another.
.
And all my pastures are under water for the 3 millionth time this winter. What a mess!
.
The ducks are happy though - the wind yesterday blew open their run, and they had a fine time running around the farm, playing in all the water.
.
Ducks are DEVOTED to their water - if they don't have enough in their pool, I hear all about it. They want to speak to my manager! LOL!
.
I've kind of been able to count them - they move around faster than ants and they go EVERYWHERE like cats. Mix that with my poor vision, and it makes counting kind of hard.
.
If I counted correctly, we have 7 duck hens - and they should be all laying soon! I can't wait to get a ton of duck eggs every day!
  • We've added several new mugs and tumblers to our shop this week. I'm excited because this is a project we've had in the works for a while!
.
I think the backyard chicken life should be celebrated. Chickens are such wonderful pets!
.
I love taking these mugs with me to the coop (filled with hot chocolate since I can't drink coffee) and spending some quiet time with my flock before the day really begins!
.
Featured: "Life Is Better On The Farm" mug. Link in profile.
  • I have a love /hate relationship with this tiny rooster. He's all of 3 inches high but loves to attack my feet. I seriously have no idea why.
.
He's a rescue and I'm pretty sure the reason I got him is because, to someone not experienced with chickens, he can be scary.
.
But I wear boots in my coop all the time. So, he's essentially a mosquito. It's pretty cute.
.
Sometimes he wanders off and I have to catch him. He doesn't like that, and protests loudly. But he doesn't attack me. He just squaks loudly.
.
But when I have a treat? He's my best friend. What a character!
