Mother’s Day is only a few short weeks away! There is no better gift than one made by little people for their mommy!

When I was going through keepsakes that my parents had saved over the years, I found many drawings, creations, cards, and stories that I had made (actually they were in a large tote!). Some items made me wonder what possessed them to keep something that I would have tossed in the garbage for the local Rumpke truck.

Now as a parent myself, I find I too keep those little scribbles and homemade crafts as well. I enjoy looking through the different stages of drawing and writing, and remember the precious little faces that glows with pride as they handed me their papers. (This is starting to make me test up just writing this lol.)

As mothers we prize most what our little ones make for us on holidays such as Mother’s Day. Unfortunately as homeschool moms, we sometimes have to be the ones that help them make their little gifts. This can still be an opportunity to make memories and help our children feel proud of making something for us!

To make Mother’s Day crafting easier for you and your family, I have created a list of 7 different crafts that can be purchased through Amazon. They are organized by age appropriateness to make it easier to decide on something fun for your child to do on their ability level.
