Mother's Day
SpringAll Ages9 Comments
Finally, I’ve come up with a list of a bunch of non-flower type crafts for mom that the kids can make for Mother’s Day.
Every year, it seems that the kids and I make some kind of flower crafts for Mother’s Day to give to Grandma.
I’m trying to get out of that rut and find some non-flower crafts for the kids to make. We just made these gorgeous tinted mason jars that I’m incredibly excited about! Just gotta find something cool to fill them with!
But there’s so many other ideas I’m finding now! I’m personally loving the vase idea. Then you can refill it with all those flowers in years to come!
Here are 10 of my favorite non-flower crafts for Mom (or Grandma) that the kids can make!
From mason jars to charms and Mother’s Day cards. There’s plenty of ideas for non-flower crafts for Mom and Grandma!
In case you’re looking for them, I have collected plenty of ideas for flower crafts for Mother’s Day as well, so if you’re looking for those, you can check out all these stunning flowers I found for kids to make mom, too.

I’m trying to find the craft at the bottom of the picture, the handprint on a white background. Are the directions somewhere that I’m missing? Thank you!
Rachel says
Hm, I actually don’t see a link for that one. I’m sorry about that! From looking at the picture, though, it seems pretty straightforward. Either trace their hands on patterned paper, cut out and glue to the white paper, or cut the handprint out of white paper and put the patterned paper behind. It also looks like there are hearts attached to the handprint with name and age on it. Hope that helps!
