Of course, we can order on-contact Mother’s Day flowers, cakes and gift boxes. But DIY Mother’s Day activities are just as fun. So why not give it a go?

To get started, you will need colour A4 paper or cardboard, glue, marker pens, scissors a photograph of mom, stickers or craft embellishments.

Colour the picture however they like it. Embellish with some cute stickers or sparkly hearts. Help them write the message inside the card. Give the card back to them when it is finished. Let them have the excitement of hiding the card in your bedroom or presenting it to you on Mother’s Day.

Write the words “I love my mom because…” Add dotted lines for your child to complete. Help them complete each line. Give them the honour of presenting it to you again on Mother’s Day.

Flower deliveries can be expensive on Mother’s Day. There are still plenty of summer blooms in the garden, the children can use to make a homemade bouquet for Mother’s Day.

How to make a Mother’s Day Bouquet

Cut a square piece of tissue paper. Bunch some flowers together and place on one corner of the tissue paper. Wrap the left side over the right. Wrap the bottom over that, then the right side on top. Repeat with a square kraft paper by wrapping a little lower than the tissue paper. That way, the tissue paper will peak over the top of the kraft paper. Seal with tape. Decorate with some ribbons or string.

4. Mother’s Day Special Performance

Get the kids involved by discussing ideas with them. They can have a musical performance, a dance performance, a poetry recital, storytelling or even a play. Your kids will have endless hours of fun, practising for the big day. Make it extra fun by encouraging them to dress up for the event. Mom (and dad) will also dress up on the day, just like our annual concerts.

Set up the family room to look like a theatre with chairs and a mini stage. Take lots of photographs and short video clips. Don’t forget to share these with family and friends and tag us on Instagram @topkidz.com.au Facebook #topkidzacademy
