Making Mother's Day Special with Little Dreamers

Mother’s Day is just around the corner - and when you have little dreamers with BIG imaginations, the celebration’s magic multiplies. Kids hav a special way to say “I love you” in the most genuine way they know (sometimes with a lot of googly eyes and glitter glue!). There’s nothing quite like homemade card with a big heart drawn with rainbow crayons or a bouquet of dandelions picked by your proud little explorer. These moments of celebrations with little dreamers are wonderfully chaotic and truly becmome memories mommas treasure the most. 

In this post, we’ll share fun and easy craft ideas and ways to make moms feel extra special on Mother’s Day with your kids. Because the tiny masterpieces made with gluesticks and love and little moments filled with giggles are the memories you’ll hold onto.

There is always something special about a gift made by little hands. Often these perfectly imperfect gifts are made with so much love, creativity, and construction paper too! If your mini loves crafting, here are a few easy and fun craft ideas that toddlers and kids can make to celebrate Mother’s Day:

1. Handprint of footprint art: Little dreamers grow so fast that capturing their little hands and feet to remember how tiny they were is always special. Turn their tiny hands into flowers or a heart using paint. Write down their name and year to remember how old your littel dreamer is. 

1. Homemade bouquet: Let your little dreamer pick a few flowers from the backyard or in the neighbourhood and arrange them in a jar for mom. Use it as a centerpiece for her homemade brunch to make it extra special. 

1. Handmade card: The best cards are the ones written with backward letters and filled with glitter paint and stickers from your little creative. 

1. All about mom interview: Ask your little dreamer questions about their mom and write or film their answers. Include a framed drawing of their momma to make it extra special. Some questions might be: 
2. How old is your mommy? 
3. What’s your mommy’s favourite colour? 
4. What’s your mommy’s favourite thing to do? 
5. What do you love the most about your mommy? 
6. What’s your favourite thing to do with your mommy?

1. Breakfast/Brunch Menu: If you’re doing breakfast in bed or brunch at home, have your little dreamer decorate or draw the menu. Give it to mom and ask them to choose what’d they’d like and have your little dreamer bring it in with you wearing their sweet smile.

Mother's Day isn't just about the flowers or brunch reservations - it's about the tiny moments that remind moms how loved they are and to celebrate their love for their littles. Even the simplest moments on the day can be meaningful like your little dreamer saying “Happy Mother's Day” for the first time or then earring their biggest smiles while proudly presenting you with their glitter-filled card they made just for you. 

Make these memories last for a mom in your life by remembering to snap some photos or capturing these moments on video for her. Because it's the real moments filled with messy hair and sticky faces that they'll want to remember for years to come.

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be fancy. Some of the best memories are made where moms and kids get to play, laugh, and explorer, and just be together. Some ideas that don’t include a fancy brunch reservation are:

• A backyard bubble party 
• Nature hunt for flowers, pinecones, and rocks
• A garden picnic
• A walk to a local cafe for a special treat 
• Indoor dance party
• DIY spa day that include foot massage and face masks
• Family movie and PJ party
