With Mother's Day coming up on 10 May we thought some cute craft based gift ideas might be just the thing to melt the mothers' hearts and help you teach the children in your service how to spoil their mum.
Handprint magnets - Tracing, colouring and cutting form the main part of this activity which is suitable for even very young children.
Painted pots - An oldie but a goodie, take this gift to the next level by filling the pots with a seedling planted and nurtured by the children.
Popsicle stick photo frames - This old favourite can be adapted for all ages by the use of different levels of decoration.
Handprint lilies - This activity can be adapted for different ages, older kids should be able to work independently.
Felt hearts - A simple sewing project which helps older kids develop their fine motor skills.
Paper mache - This activity takes a couple of days but the final product can be used for jewelry or sweet treats.
Silhouettes - You'll need to supervise this activity but the result is a keepsake that will be popular with everyone.
Poster coasters - Use unwanted CDs or DVDs and a recent photo or piece of artwork to create a lovely coffee cup holder.
Muffin flowers - Flowers are definitely the theme for Mother's Day. This is another simple idea suitable for younger kids.
Butterfly card - An adult may need to help with cutting the shape of the butterfly but apart from that the kids can decorate these lovely butterflies however they want.
